Description

Explaining a diagnosis of cancer to children or teenagers can feel difficult and overwhelming. This book isn’t designed to tell you exactly what to say, but we hope it gives you a starting point. Talking sensitively and honestly about the diagnosis can provide reassurance during a time of uncertainty and change.


Talking to Kids About Cancer focuses on when a parent has cancer, but much of the discussion is relevant for anyone who needs to explain a diagnosis of cancer to children – for example, when a child’s sibling or friend has cancer, when their grandparent or another significant adult has cancer, or when the child themselves has cancer.


Different chapters offer tips on talking to children throughout all stages of cancer, from breaking the news about a cancer diagnosis to coping with life after treatment. The resource includes quotes and stories from real people who have been affected by cancer (with names changed for confidentiality), along with examples of what a parent or caregiver might want to say. These are just ideas and you will need to vary what you say according to your children’s ages and their individual characteristics – you know your children best and can judge their ability to understand things.


You can use this book as a resource to ensure your children hear a consistent message about cancer and how it is affecting your family. Pass it on to grandparents, teachers, school counsellors and neighbours – anyone who is talking with your children.
