"You feel so helpless because you can't do anything"

When Things go Badly

Despite the best available treatment, some cancers come back. Often different sorts of treatment can work well and can make the cancer go away again. In a few people the cancer is so aggressive that it cannot be cured. When this happens everyone is very sad and frightened.The treatment is still important to try and keep a person well and healthy for a long time.

If things go badly it will be particularly important for you to find an adult to talk to. Why not ask a teacher, someone in your family or from the hospital, or someone else you know. The more you tell people about how you feel the more they will understand.
