10.3 Parents and the Family

When a parent learns about his or her child’s cancer diagnosis, they must make numerous decisions under conditions of intense emotional distress and uncertainty. They may decide where to go for treatment (although most stay at the diagnosing institution), what treatment is best for their child, and how to tell their child and other family members about the diagnosis. They also must identify options and decide about what to do about their job, childcare for siblings, and how to manage the child’s treatment within their family life. Parents are also challenged by having to make life changing decisions for someone else, i.e., their child, which is very different from making a decision about themselves [67].
