Talking with children
about cancer

If you need to tell a child about your cancer diagnosis, ask for Simple Talks for Tough Times by Marcia Carlson, social worker at Virginia Piper Cancer Institute – Unity Hospital and the Mercy Cancer Center. The book is available at no cost.

The Cancer Program at Mercy Hospital offers all of the services of comprehensive cancer care including risk assessment and genetics counseling, cancer screening, diagnostic and interventional radiology, and treatment by surgery, radiation therapy and medical oncology.

Ongoing care is provided for those in remission as well as for those living with cancer. Care is given in both outpatient and inpatient settings.

As an acknowlgement of this achievement, our cancer program is designated a Comprehensive Community Cancer Center by the Commission on Cancer.

We are accredited by the American College of Surgeon's Commission on Cancer and a 2009 recipient of the CoC's Outstanding Achievement Award.
