One day after the date indicated as International Childhood Cancer Day we want to make you aware of an Internet page that we found interesting because of the way it addresses the disease. Is about the website of the Spanish Association Against Cancer in its section "Cancer in children and young people".
In this section we find information, stories, games and activities for children and young people that help them feel better and understand what is happening to them. A nice character, the little superhero Nacho, is guiding the little ones to understand cancer.
My name is Nacho, and I am also a child with cancer, like you. Thanks to my super hero costume and my friends I know many things about the disease and how to fight it. Surely doctors, dad and mom or your family have told you many things about what happens to you, but sometimes you don't understand what they say, because they are very rare words, right? I will explain them to you!
And so the page progresses with all the information that Nacho offers causes, treatments and their effects, how to feel better…
In the "Stories" section there are many stories for children who talk about chemotherapy, radiotherapy, the loss of a loved one ... and there are also cut-outs and fun hobbies, and booklets about healthy habits that prevent cancer such as good nutrition and sun protection
But it doesn't end here on material for children, because in the games section there are many more fun proposals.
Parents and professionals also have information and practical strategies to deal with cancer. We can also send our consultations to professionals, read news about the disease, and remind us of a free consultation telephone (900 100 036).
In short, this section of the AECC website aimed at children who are sick with cancer and their families It is an interesting resource to face the disease and its hardness with realism and in an entertaining way, because after all, children, although sick, are still children with their same interests.
