In this section, you will find information about some of the most common side effects children experience when being treated for cancer. Each topic has information about symptoms, prevention, treatment and questions to ask your health care team. Each child responds individually to cancer treatment -- so understand that your child may experience some of these side effects and not others.
You are your child's greatest advocate. Your understanding of the possible side effects and steps to take to alleviate them will help you help your child.
