Keene, the mother of a leukemia survivor, and nurse practitioners
specializing in pediatric oncology here explain the long-term
challenges that patients will face. They discuss issues such as
growth problems, fertility, discrimination in the workplace and
in obtaining insurance, and the emotional aspects of surviving
cancer. This is a very useful book for both survivors and their
families.

"This extraordinary book speaks to all ages as it describes the world of childhood cancer and provides information vitally needed by survivors, families, and medical teams. In an easy-to-read and well-organized format, the book is packed with facts about the emotional upheavals and drastic changes in both mental and physical health of young patients during treatment and long after the cancer has been cured." --Surviving: A Cancer Patient Magazine, Stanford Hospital and Clinics

"Childhood Cancer Survivors contains a wealth of important information that will benefit survivors for years after their treatment of cancer. It also contains a listing of service organizations, books, and online resources. It is clearly a 'must have' reference for both healthcare professionals and childhood cancer survivors. OncoLink gives this book its highest recommendation." --Oncolink, University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center
"This book is a survivor's dream! There's plenty of accurate and understandable 'technical' info, but there's plenty of heart as well, which is precisely what we haven't had in resources for us to date." --Kimbra Wilder Gish, Hodgkin's survivor and Biomedical librarian
