Dealing with
children who have cancer in developing countries is a great human experience
not only for the patient and the family but also for persons who are caring
them.
The diagnosis of
a child as a cancer case is really a great shock to all family members
and it is a moment of a dramatic change in their life. First reaction is
usually a combination of sadness and denial.
They will start a
new style of life with a plenty of investigations, appointments and different
treatments decisions and plans. Different negative emotional reactions are the
classic feelings of the parents every time they meet the treating physician.
