Children's Issues
A cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment
process can be a frightening and difficult time
for a patient and their family. For families
with young children or teenagers there is additional
concern about how the children will react to
the diagnosis and treatment process of a parent.
Sharing the news is not an easy task. The Joan
Karnell Cancer Center provides you with a practical
set of information and resources to assist you
in talking with your children about the diagnosis
and treatment process, as well as information
and interactive activities for your children.
You may have questions or find yourself with
additional concerns. Your social worker can help.
At the Joan Karnell Cancer Center at Pennsylvania
Hospital, social work services are here to support
you and your family with the changes that occur
as a result of cancer.
