Childhood: When Hospital Is Home

Children’s Memorial is committed to treating the whole child, and quality-of-life is a major concern. But is it possible for kids to have a "normal" childhood and also cope with a serious illness? This program shows how children and teens at the Falk Brain Tumor Center, with the help of their families and doctors, are fighting to keep the joy alive. The overall impact of treatments on a patient’s body and spirit is considered, as is the insecurity often felt by long-term patients who, with their cancer in remission, are to be sent home. Oncologist Stewart Goldman is featured. (56 minutes)
