It is important for the child undergoing treatment for cancer to return to school as soon as medically cleared. Returning to school offers the child/family a sense of normalcy "back to routine life", a sense of purpose/achievement, a time to transform fear to hope for the future, and allows time to socialize with peers. Often, school work can be a distraction from treatment or painful procedures.
