| When a child has a brain tumour there are many challenges. The child and the family need to manage the medical care and treatment. They need to understand what is happening. They need to be confident and positive. The question parents ask is: How can I help my child understand and cope with what is happening? The storybooks follow the child’s progress from discovering the nature of the illness, to surgery and further treatment. The child is sensitively informed about what is happening at the right time and encourages thinking and sharing experiences. What’s The Matter? is about investigations and being in hospital. It introduces the child to the people in the ward. I Have A Brain Tumour is about making and confirming a diagnosis, and about surgery. What Happens Next? is about treatments, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. |
