Childhood cancer is rare. It is not likely that your child will ever develop cancer. Still, as a parent, you should be aware of the symptoms of childhood cancer.

You know your own child better than anyone else. Go with your instincts if you suspect something is not right. If you observe any of these symptoms, seek medical diagnosis and work with your child's doctor to acheive the goal of GOOD HEALTH for your child.

God bless you with good health!
