About the care of “childhood cancer” that Charming Care Mall is working on

It is extremely difficult for a family to have a small child develop cancer.
However, in recent years, due to medical advances, the cure rate for childhood cancer has increased dramatically.

When it comes to treatment for childhood cancer, not only the patient's efforts but also the support of the patient's family is essential.

During the harsh chemotherapy treatment, the family members may be more mentally depressed than the patient himself/herself.

Another issue is that young siblings who are separated from each other may feel lonely due to long treatment.

At Charming Care Mall, we support children fighting childhood cancer and their families.

We have developed products that can be used to help people during difficult times, and we offer a wide range of care products that are not only functional, but also brighten the spirits of the users and their families.

Common problems faced by children with cancer

When it comes to childhood cancer, the younger the child, the more often the parents suffer from it than the child.

Mothers in particular may have a strong tendency to push themselves and wonder, “Why did I let my child get cancer?''

Many parents are forced to quit their jobs to prioritize their child's treatment.

Additionally, if the affected child has siblings, it may be difficult to communicate closely with the parents.

Because childhood cancer treatment is often long and complex, siblings tend to be given lower priority by parents.

Siblings are concerned about the atmosphere in the family while the child is being treated, and even as the child grows up, siblings may feel lonely and traumatized.

However, there are many organizations that support children with cancer and their families, including medical professionals and other families facing the same concerns.

By receiving appropriate support from those around them, not only the patient but also his or her family can face the treatment of childhood cancer while receiving appropriate care.
