Childhood is a magical time for all of us. But sometimes, cancer rears its ugly head and strikes those who are most vulnerable to it, the youngest among us...and it's never a pretty thing.
Children, in fact, do get cancer. It's a fact. By increasing awareness about childhood cancer, we can reduce the mortality rate of childhood cancers. Also, by keeping an eye out for the following symptoms, childhood cancer can be treated early and give these poor souls a chance to survive.
Persistent nausea, vomiting, fever, headaches and fatigue are possible symptoms of childhood cancer, and therefore must be diagnosed by a doctor immediately. Also, unexplained weight loss, bruising and swelling, as well as lumps in the armpit, neck and throat are all danger signs which must be inspected by a physician immediately.
