September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Sarcoma can affect anyone, at any age. It’s the third most common cancer in children in the UK.
If you’re a parent looking for information about sarcoma, or a young person dealing with it yourself, we are here for you.
On this page, you can find information about:
- the different types of sarcoma
- what treatment might look like
- who will be in the paediatric team looking after you or your child
- supporting your child and looking after yourself.
If you have questions about sarcoma, or if you need to talk to someone, our Support Line team are here to help.
