A diagnosis of childhood cancer is devastating for the family.
Childhood cancer is treated aggressively, often with a combination
of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, at a time of life when
bodies are growing and developing. Treatment has a significant
long-term impact on children's' endocrine, heart, and cognitive
functions. Additionally, parents of children with cancer are
often young, have a limited income, and they have other children.
One parent often needs to give up a job to take care of their
child being treated for cancer.
The needs are great, and Totalmed’s Childhood Cancer Foundation
is a primary Philippine provider of essential programs and services
required by families of children with cancer.
Families whose children are diagnosed with cancer, who have
financial constraints and are in need of these valuable resources
are encouraged to contact Totalmed. Several informative books
are available to families in need without charge.
