title: The family perspective of the cured patient.
abstract: For each childhood cancer patient and their family, the meaning of cure is as diverse as their disease treatments. Just as childhood cancer is a family disease, so is the cure. This paper addresses the family's perspective of the cured patient: what is the definition of cure, how are patients and their families affected by survival, and what about the issues of life and health insurance, marriage and offspring.
