Currently, there are stamps for breast and prostate cancer, diabetes, organ donation and hospice. Each year, the citizen's stamp advisory committee reviews stamp subjects that are submitted by the public. They have thousands that are suggested. They will only consider "events and themes of widespread national appeal and significance". It is quite possible that they do not know the widespread national significance of childhood cancer. We are asking each of you - family members of children with cancer, childhood cancer patients, survivors, friends and care-givers to help us tell them that childhood cancer is the number one disease killer of children in our country, and that the number of kids being diagnosed with cancer is increasing. Let us tell them that childhood cancer is significant! Cancer cuts short the lives of more children under the age of 19 than any other disease, 1 child out of 5 who is diagnosed with cancer dies, 3 out of 5 children suffer from ...

Childhood Cancer prognosis - What Next?

There you stand, either in the pediatrician's office or the crisis room, receiving the most horrific news thinkable, that being the news that your child has a life threatening disease.

As most doctors do they tell you they are going to give you and your family a occasion to suck in what you have just been told. As you then look upon your child, who is finding up at you, confused and scared, you are hit with a barrage of questions. Why, how, and what next?

What Is Leukemia

After the doctors have done the seemingly endless barrage of tests on your child, he/she and the rest of the curative staff give you the infamous "road map." This road map is supposed to tell you how your child will be treated depending on their disease and the severity of said disease. Often this road map leaves you with more questions than answers.

Then your child is ultimately released from the hospital and sent home to await your next visit to the surgical room, infusion center, and clinic for labs or wherever your chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments are conducted. It is this down time that a familiar question comes floating back into your mind.... What next?

What next? information gathering, entrust your child to the doctor, pray to God? It is imperative to learn as much about your child's illness as possible. Learn the affects, side effects, pros and cons of each drug used. Do not be afraid to question all the curative staff is doing. If it doesn't make sense, ask for explanations, explication and reconfirm with other curative staff. Do not overlook your parental instincts after all, you know your child the best and do not allow someone else to tell you otherwise. At first they may try to back you down or appease you and may even try to confuse you with curative jargon, but soon they will perceive that you are not the kind of parent that sits on the sidelines and gives the doctors carte blanche in the faith and trust department. It is only straight through this vigilance that your child will receive the best medicine possible. You must be your child's outpatient advocate.
