Childhood Brain & Spinal Cord Tumors , the most complete  parent guide available, includes detailed and precise medical  information about both benign and malignant brain and spinal  cord tumors that strike children and adolescents. In addition,  it offers day-to-day practical advice on how to cope with  procedures, hospitalization, family and friends, school, social  and financial issues, communication, feelings and, if therapy is  not successful, the difficult issues of death and bereavement.    Woven among the medical details and the practical advice are  the voices of parents and children who have lived with cancer  and its treatments. As many parents have already found, advice  from "veteran" parents can be a lifeline.  Obtaining a basic understanding of topics such as medical  terminology, how drugs work, common side effects of chemotherapy,  and how to work more effectively with medical personnel can only  improve the quality of life for the whole family suffering along  with their child.  Having parents describe their own emotional ups  and downs, how they coped, and how they molded their family life  around hospitalizations can be a tremendous comfort. Just knowing  that there are other kids on chemotherapy who refuse to eat anything  but tacos or who have frequent rages can make one feel less alone.  Parents who read this book will encounter medical facts simply  explained, advice to ease their daily life, and tools to be a  strong advocate for their child. Includes extensive resources and  a pull-out medical record-keeper.
