What is it about?
This paper is part three of a study looking at the impact of childhood cancer on the parental relationship. In this paper, we examine the advice that the parents we interviewed had for other parents in a similar situation and also the advice they have for healthcare professionals in helping them as a parental unit.

Why is it important?
Parents who have experienced having a child with cancer are the ones with the expertise. This study calls on their expertise so that they might help other parents and also improve practices of healthcare professionals.
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.
