Childhood cancer, particularly leukaemia, is on the rise. Leukaemia strikes one child in every 25,000, and most often does so between the ages of 3 and 7. Due to advances in biotechnology and medicine, survival rates for this once-deadly disease now stand at 80 percent. But the psychological effects of diagnosis, removal from school, treatment, and remission or cure, linger. Here nine long-term survivors of childhood leukaemia share their vivid memories and give us insight into the physiological changes and psychosocial and educational difficulties that became a constant "shadow" in their lives. Author Nancy Sullivan provides recommendations for ways teachers, counsellors and other professionals may better help young students with leukaemia cope.
