Help Your Child Understand Kyle's Cancer

On February 9, 2007, Kyle was diagnosed with a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, an inoperable tumor in his brainstem. He was enrolled in a clinical trial for a drug called Zarnestra and completed radiation therapy in April 2007. In May 2008 Kyle’s doctor reclassified his tumor as recurring. The Zarnestra was stopped and Kyle was enrolled in a new Clinical Oncology Group trial. Treatment consists of a cocktail of three chemotherapy agents administered in 21-day cycles. Kyle discontinued this treatment 11/19/08.
Cancer is not contagious.
It is not anyone's fault when a person gets cancer; doctors do not know what causes it, and the doctors are working hard to better understand childhood cancers all the time.
Chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy are used to destroy the cancer cells; some of the good cells also get destroyed and therefore there can be side effects such as hair loss, weight gain or loss, fatigue, and lowered resistance to infections.
Kyle is still the same person he was before he got sick and wants to be treated the same.
Please encourage your child to share any questions or concerns with you.
