I am doing my college paper on late effects of childhood cancer. The exact topic of my paper is undecided but as for the general topic its late effects. I have been unable to call and actually speak to a doctor, but I was wondering if anyone has had a child that has had cancer. Did the doctor inform you about all of the late effects that could develop with each different type of treatment? If anyone could let me know, Also if you have any specific topic ideas im open to suggestions. Thanks so much!!

In general the overwhelming majority of parents are far more concerned that their child is going to die from the cancer and do not focus on 'long term or late effects. Your child has to survive first. For those who do survive it is always a struggle or fear that the cancer will return or a secondary cancer from the treatment will pop up. Parents do the best that they can under horrific conditions . . and although some may 'worry' about the treatment their child receives . . there is often no time to worry about the future because there is no certainty that there will be a future without treatment. The parents I know with children who have survived just feel fortunate to have their children and will deal with any late effects as they occur. Pediatric oncologists are aware that what is being offered can create issues later . . but their priority, like the parents, is to make sure the child survives the cancer first.
