When a child with cancer returns to school after a prolonged absence, the adjustment can be difficult for everyone. POGO\u2019s\u00a0Children with Cancer: A Guide for Educators\u00a0<\/em><\/a>helps the school community prepare and cope. All year long, and\u00a0especially in September, at the start of the school year,\u00a0POGO Interlink Nurses<\/a>\u00a0help ease the transition back to school by making school visits to\u00a0answer questions<\/a>\u00a0from teachers, administrative staff and students about childhood cancer. These expert nurses are able to explain common types of cancer in children and how they are treated. They talk about medical devices used in treatment, many of which are surgically inserted which means there are restrictions to the child\u2019s play.\u00a0 The nurses help teachers deal with specific health and social issues, including\u00a0nausea and vomiting as side effects of medication, the child\u2019s feelings about hair loss, and the reactions of others.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\t
