Hematology-Oncology

For school aged siblings (ages 7-11)
We know that when a brother or sister has cancer, it is hard for everyone in the family. This may be a hard time for you, too. Your parents may be spending a lot of time taking care of your brother or sister. But, this does not mean your Mom or Dad stops being your parent. Things might feel like a roller coaster ride for a while. It will settle down.

Support & Education Programs
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, it has a significant impact not only on the child, but parents, siblings and extended family as well.

We offer a variety of services to help patients and families gain the support and information they will need to meet the challenges ahead such as:

• Educational series on "Children and Cancer: A Program for Families"
• Back Pack program, "My Story in Beads" and other pediatric support programs, please see the Parent and Family Support.
