 Having
a child diagnosed with cancer is coming to terms with the limits of your
humanity. It is learning to live day by day, with numerous unanswered
questions. It is learning to be brave in the midst of seemingly
insurmountable odds.
Having
a child diagnosed with cancer is a spiritual encounter. For some, it
leads to a crisis of faith. For others, it is accepting cancer as a gift
and holding on to the belief that "God will make a way".
 But
even more heart wrenching than the effects of cancer on the families and
parents of children with cancer is the effects of cancer on the children
themselves. At an age of supposed innocence, enjoyment and pure joy,
children with cancer are faced with momentous and difficult experiences.
Most often, these also comes with a lot of real physical pain.
