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.
When one door closes and a new one opens, it's a time of reflection and acceptance as well as the promise of a fresh start and opportunity. After a cancer diagnosis, families are thrown into an unfamiliar and distressing world of hospitals and treatment. This first issue of Contact for 2022 is on 'New Beginnings' and shows how families and patients can learn to live life again.
