Coping With Cancer Treatment & Hospital
There are a range of techniques you can use to help your child cope with their cancer treatment.
Play is how tamariki (children) make sense of the world around them. In hospital, it helps them to express their feelings and worries, understand what is happening and cope with treatment. This information is for child cancer patients in hospital but is also relevant to any child in hospital.
You and your child will benefit from being well prepared. Ask as many questions as you need to get a clear understanding of what is going to happen and why.
