Contact Magazine Past issues

The award-winning Contact magazine is a free quarterly magazine for families of children and young people with cancer.

Launched in 2004, it acts as an essential source of information and reduces the isolation that families with children diagnosed with a rare disease, such as cancer, inevitably face. Each themed issue focuses on one aspect of cancer in children and young people, and contains informative articles by childhood cancer professionals and stories from parents, young people and childhood cancer survivors.

 

Normality and childhood cancer

Nothing about the last 18 months has been ‘normal’. We have lived through an extraordinary global event which has left its mark on all of us in some way. It’s unimaginable to know that families have not only had to face the devastation of being told their child has cancer but have also had to live through the pandemic. Life really has changed beyond all recognition for such families and adapting to a ‘new normal’ must seem even harder. But families are not alone - help and support is still there for you despite lockdown and restrictions. Read this issue to find out more on how normality is affected by childhood cancer.
