What is it about?
This paper is the second paper in a series of three papers that report on a study examining the impact of childhood cancer on the parental relationship. In this paper, we articulate the findings of the study and what the parents helped us understand about how their relationship was affected and how they managed this.

Why is it important?
Childhood cancer is more than a biological event; it is a relational one and many people inside and outside of the family are affected by this experience. Understanding the impact on family relationships is vital to helping other families navigate this experience and also helpful in helping healthcare professionals continue good practices with children and families.
Perspectives
We wish to thank the parents who participated in this important study. Their courage and openness is remarkable and we are most grateful. We also thank our funder Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta for supporting the study and promoting it through media and social media.
