Description
Being a kid is supposed to be the funnest time in life, but when cancer is part of childhood, life may seem overwhelming. Over 600,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer each year, leaving friends, classmates, family members as well as the patient confused and scared. Most often, parents are left with the overwhelming burden of explaining the diagnosis.
Illustrations fill the pages with warmth and joy, showing a young boy facing cancer with logic and determination. He explains how an out of control cell forms a tumor, how a blood test is done, what X-rays, CT Scans, and MRI's are for, how chemotherapy is administered through a Hickman Line, and how radiation works to destroy cancer cells.
I'm a Kid Living with Cancer takes the fear out of explaining cancer to a child. It offers a sense of comfort and optimism from knowing what to expect, giving the facts about cancer in an honest but gentle manner, at a child's level of understanding.
