Navigating Childhood Cancer Podcast
Welcome to the Navigating Childhood Cancer Podcast.
In this podcast, we’ll explore all aspects of living through a child’s cancer diagnosis. We’ll speak with parents, experts, caregivers, and maybe even the children themselves, to understand the issues, the risks, the struggles and triumphs. We’ll talk about how to cope, how to support your child, how to ask for (and accept) help from your family and friends, and how to handle all of the day-to-day challenges that you may face while on your child’s journey.
This is the information, and the community, I wish I had when my child was diagnosed with leukemia. My goal is to educate, to support and to inspire anyone who is living through a paediatric cancer diagnosis.

Episode 5 - The Reality of Life in Treatment
In this episode, we discuss how we handled some of the hard parts of treatment - how to feed a child in treatment, and how to handle all of those medications. Every family will have a different experience, but we expect that these are two things that most families will struggle with at some point. As always, the care team at the hospital was ready with suggestions and support, but sometimes it also requires a little creativity (and a lot of patience) to find the best way forward.
