Mayo Clinic Radio: Childhood Cancer Awareness

There are four words no parent or family ever wants to hear: Your child has cancer. Families facing pediatric cancer experience a wide range of emotions, often feeling scared, overwhelmed, frustrated, helpless or hopeless. And each family member may experience different emotions at different times, making it difficult to navigate and support each other. These and related issues are the focus in September as families, caregivers, charities and research groups across the U.S. observe Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
