Welcome to series, where we go beyond the diagnosis to uncover the realities of and explore the challenges children and families face from diagnosis and treatment through survivorship and beyond.

Did you know? Leukemia, brain and other central nervous system tumors, lymphomas, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, and bone cancers are all different cancers that affect children and adolescents. Each can have different symptoms, treatment options, and outcomes.

A child’s diagnosis and treatment journey is unique, and each family faces different needs along the way. Through our Family Support Program, we provide one-on-one support and connect families with tailored referrals, support, and resources tailored to their circumstances.

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to recognize the important role compassionate care plays in supporting patients and families through some of life's most difficult moments.

For children facing cancer, care extends beyond treating the disease. Palliative care helps address pain, symptoms, and the emotional and physical challenges that can accompany a diagnosis, with the goal of improving quality of life for both children and their families.

Hospice care also provides essential comfort, dignity, and support when treatment is no longer the focus. Both forms of care recognize that families deserve compassion, guidance, and support at every stage of their journey.

We recognize the importance of caring for the whole family and ensuring no one has to go through childhood cancer alone.

This month, we honor the healthcare professionals, caregivers, and families who make compassionate care possible. 💛

Meet Lillian, an NCCS Beyond the Cure Ambassador and Randstad Myriam Laaouan Legacy Scholar! 💛

Lillian earned her scholarship through an inspiring, award-winning essay reflecting on how her childhood diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) shaped her life, strengthened her perspective, and inspired her to make a difference for others.

As Lillian shared:

“I don’t think I could have ever made it this far or become the person I am today without experiencing my fight with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It showed me the joy and strength of living by calling me to make a stand for others, leading me to acceptance and appreciation for the battles I fought.”

Lillian is using her experiences to inspire others and make a lasting impact. We are proud to celebrate her accomplishments and can't wait to see all she continues to achieve!

When a child finishes cancer treatment, families may feel relief, hope, and excitement for what comes next. But after months or years of hospital visits, medications, and uncertainty, life after treatment can bring its own challenges.

In our article, "Transitioning the Family into a New Normal Off-Treatment," we explore what it can look like for families to adjust to life off treatment and share the realities of navigating new routines, shifting family dynamics, lingering fears, and the importance of giving yourself grace along the way. We also share practical tips to help navigate this transition.
