Children and cancerTuesday 26 February 2002
Next week, Macmillan Cancer Relief are launching a new campaign. Cancer Talk aims to dispel some of the silence, fear, myths and ignorance that can further isolate children and young people dealing with a cancer diagnosis themselves or with a close friend or family member affected.

Emma is 14 and two years ago was diagnosed with bone cancer. Hannah who's 15 has found a way of helping herself and others through her leaflet, Coping with a parent with breast cancer. Phillipa Budgen went to talk to them to find out how they deal with their experience of cancer.
Joining Jenni in the studio to discuss the best way of dealing with this difficult issue is Sue Raheem, who has cancer in her bones, and Tricia Williams, a Macmillan Counsellor.
