This Booklet Is For You
How To Use This Booklet
If your brother or sister has
cancer, this booklet is for you.
In this booklet you will:
- Hear from other teens
who - like you - have
a brother or sister
with cancer
- Find out what has helped
them
- Get ideas about people
to talk with when you're
upset or feel all alone
- Learn a little about cancer and how it's treated.
This booklet can't give you all the answers, but it can help you
prepare for some of the things you might face.
There is a team of people working hard to help your brother or
sister get better. You should know that there are also many people
available to help you. No one should go through this alone.
