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.
The human body relies on blood to perform many functions for it to operate as it should do. But cancer and its treatments can affect the blood in many ways. In this edition of Contact, we find out how cancer and its treatment may affect a person's blood and how doctors tackle this.
