An Important Book for Patients, Family, and Friends
A book explaining cancer to kids aged 10-14 from renowned cancer doctor Sanjay Juneja.

A compassionate guide to understanding cancer, written by a medical oncologist for children aged 10-14.

This is a book for children affected by the Big C. Whether they have cancer, or they know someone with cancer, they will have a lot of questions. And even for adults cancer is a really hard thing to talk about! Luckily Dr Sanjay Juneja is an expert at having these tricky conversations.

In this book, featuring sensitive illustrations by Anna Shepeta, readers will get the answers to questions such as:

• Why does some people’s hair fall out when they have cancer?
• How can I support someone with cancer?
• What can I expect in hospital?

Taking a fact-based approach, the book will explain what cancer is, highlight the different types of cancer, introduce the medical staff that help patients on their journey, and look at different types of treatment.

This honest and reassuring resource helps kids and families navigate cancer diagnosis and treatment together. It's also made by experts. Author Dr Sanjay Juneja takes care of people with blood diseases and cancer. Dr Ben Pickwell-Smith, the consultant on this book, is a Clinical Lecturer and Medical Oncology Registrar at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
