Leukemia strikes one child in every 25,000, and most often does so between the ages of 3 and 7. Annually, more than 2,700 children are diagnosed with leukemia in the United States. Due to advances in biotechnology and medicine, survival rates for this once-deadly disease now stand at 80%. But the psychological effects of diagnosis, removal from school, treatment, and remission or cure, linger. Here nine long-term survivors of childhood leukemia share their vivid memories and give us insight into the physiological changes, psychosocial and educational difficulties that became a constant shadow in their lives. Author Nanci Sullivan provides recommendations for ways teachers, counselors and other professionals may better help young students with leukemia cope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Praeger Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45088258064535,"sku":"9780275958145","price":3857.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780275958145.webp?v=1767641467","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/walking-with-a-shadow-surviving-childhood-leukemia-9780275958145","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
