Childhood cancer
When you, or someone you know is diagnosed with cancer, life can change in many ways. While cancer in young people is not as common as in older people, having cancer can have a major effect on a lot of people, including the young person's family, friends and community.
There are many places that family and friends can turn to for the help they need to support their loved one. Cancer is a serious illness, but it is only an illness. Treatment is available and cancer can be treated. Treatment can lead to a cure, or at least a better quality of life.
