Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Coping with Childhood Cancer

Coping with Childhood Cancer

Coping with chronic and perhaps fatal disease and gaining control over their lives is something that childhood cancer victims must learn. This program presents open and honest interviews with five family members of childhood cancer patients. The stress on the family is intense; often, the brothers and sisters of children with cancer or any chronic life-threatening illness are most severely affected emotionally. The program provides caretakers and concerned adults with an insight into the coping mechanisms, and provides those who are themselves subject to such stress with a model of coping. (28 minutes)
