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. 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 explains what cancer is, highlights the different types of cancer, introduces the medical staff that help patients on their journey, and looks at different types of treatment. It also gives advice about mental health - and looks at what happens once someone has been given the all-clear.
