Book excerpt: The past decade has brought extraordinary gains in the outlook for children stricken with cancer. Though cancer remains a leading cause of death for children and young adults, more victims of child hood cancer today will survive than will die. The therapeutic advances and the optimism they instill have prompted researchers and clinicians to analyze the impact of cancer upon young patients and their famil,ies and to devise more effective intervention strategies. Hope and survival, juxtaposed with the continuing high mortality associated with certain forms of the illness, add new challenges to management of the psychosocial aspects of cancer. To respond to these challenges we need research as rigorous as that which continues to make inroads in treating the physical illness. This specific concern for the needs of children suffering from cancer and their families has paralleled an increasing sensitivity on the part of the medical community and the public at large to the limitations of specialized, high technology health care practices.

Download or read book Uncertain Futures written by Ignasi Clemente and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-07-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines children and young people’s attempts to participate in conversations about their own treatment throughout uncertain cancer trajectories, including the events leading up to diagnosis, treatment, remission, relapse, and cure or death. Clearly and compellingly written, Clemente relies on a new multi-layered method to identify six cancer communication strategies Illustrates that communication is central to how children, parents, and healthcare professionals constitute, influence, and make sense of the social worlds they inhabit—or that they want to inhabit Provides ethnographic case studies of childhood cancer patients in Spain, using children's own words Examines the challenges of how to talk to and how to encourage patients' involvement in reatment discussions In his critique of the “telling” versus “not telling” debates, Clemente argues that communication should be adjusted to the children’s own needs, and that children's own questions can indicate how much or little they want to be involved Uncertain Futures is the winner of the 15th Annual Modest Reixach Prize.

Download or read book Children with Cancer written by Jan van Eys and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probably no two topics have generated more workshops, con ferences, and lectures in medicine and education than the chron ically ill child and the mandate of Public Law 94-142. In spite of the numerous examinations of these topics there has never been a serious dialogue between medical professionals and educators with the child as the focus. These proceedings represent such a unique event. The paradigm of the medically exceptional child is the child with cancer, a child with a life-threatening illness, but also a child with a high probability of being cured of this acute disease. Such a cure is purchased at a cost of late sequelae of disease and treat ment alike. There is prejudice against this child. There is overt physical exceptionality. Therefore, the Fifth Annual Mental Health Conference of The University of Texas System Cancer Center, Department of Pediatrics, was a stimulus to generate this dialogue. When two nationally recognized giants in their respective fields, The University of Texas System Cancer Center and the Houston Independent School District, address a problem, the result transcends local concern. This conference goes far beyond the problem of the child with cancer to deal with all medically exceptional children. The focus on the needs and expectations for the child makes this workshop universal in application.

Download or read book The Silent Storm written by John Boykin and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book the Silent Storm is written and tells the story about a normal family whose life was turned upside down when they found out their daughter had cancer. Carrie, the daughter, was a normal nine-year-old that was a vibrant, energetic, and healthy young girl who played many different sports-her favorite being soccer. Then one day she had gone to school and fell ill. The school notified the parents, and Carrie was picked up and brought home. After two days of hospital visits, the doctors found a large tumor on her ovary. At this time, panic set in, and the doctors agreed that surgery was the first course of action. The surgery was done the next morning, and the tumor was, in fact, cancerous. At this point, the shock of hearing those words left the whole family devastated. At that time, the doctors advised that chemotherapy was the only and most important course of treatment, so with the Mom and Dad's permission, the treatment began. After many months of treatment, the doctors advised that Carrie was in remission. The news was good, but the worry never goes away. Continue the journey, and read the Silent Storm. Feel the roller-coaster ride of ups and downs, and learn that cancer is not a death sentence anymore. Cancer can, indeed, be treated and cured. See how Carrie beat her cancer and moved on with her life. God bless to all who have been touched by this disease.
