PARENTING WHEN YOU HAVE CANCER

We hope you can join us for this free virtual educational program!

Program Details

Being a parent is challenging on a typical day. Being a parent with cancer adds another  layer of stress and uncertainty that is often difficult to cope with.

How much should I tell my children about my diagnosis, treatment or expected outcome?

What will the emotional impact be on my family?

How do I take care of myself and allow my caregivers to help, too?

Expert social workers from three renowned cancer centers will share their knowledge and experience on these topics and more for parents facing a cancer diagnosis. 

Attendees will also hear from a panel of parents who have "been there" and will share their tips and advice on parenting through cancer.
