Soda drinks that is what the western people calls it and Coke is the most popular one. I heard stories that those who stopped drinking sodas are those with diabetes because their doctors are force them to,but hey whether you are diabetic or not Sodas are not healthy anymore. It has been proven by researchers that healthy body can be soon sickly due to drinking Sodas.

Nurses Talk - You’ve thought it out and made up your mind – you're going to get a hip tattoo. This is a pretty big decision. After all, the decision you make now will be with you for the rest of your life. So how should you decide what tattoo design to choose for your hip? Here are a few tips to help you decide:

Find a design that has meaning to you; your child’s name, a religious symbol, a design that inspires you. This is your hip tattoo so you want it to be special.
Make some sketches. Even if you can't draw very well, you can do a rough drawing or an outline of your idea and a good tattoo artist can turn it into a great tattoo.
If you have an idea in mind, ask the tattoo artist to make a custom design for you. This way, it will be a unique, one-of-a-kind tattoo that only you have.
Visit several tattoo studios and ask to see the portfolio of the tattoo artists. Each artist will have his or her own unique style and this will help you choose which artist is right for you.
Before you have a name (other than your child’s) tattooed on your hip, think carefully. Name tattoos are the tattoos that are most commonly removed.
Know what your design means or represents.
Try a temporary design. By getting the design in Henna, which will last up to a month, or a stencil or printout of your favorite design, you can see how it will fit and look on your hip.
Don’t rush into getting a tattoo. It is painful and expensive to have tattoos removed so more than likely, you will have your hip tattoo the rest of your life. Take your time and make a wise decision that you can live with.
Asian characters are currently a popular choice for hip tattoos, but make sure you know the correct meaning. You don’t want to walk around with something ridiculous tattooed on your hip, and you don’t want to offend anyone’s culture.
Consider a design that matches or complements a loved one’s tattoo.
Your choice of a hip tattoo doesn’t have to be deep or meaningful. If you like butterflies just because you like butterflies, go ahead and get one – it’s your body and your tattoo. You don’t always have to make a statement.
It’s best not to choose something “faddish” like the name of a celebrity or favorite band.

Check the Internet for tattoo design ideas. This can be a great help if you have absolutely no idea what to choose for your hip tattoo design. Choosing your hip tattoo design can and should be fun. Take your time. Take the above tips into consideration and enjoy the process of making the decision. Above all, don’t rush out and get a hip tattoo on the spur of the moment. If chosen carefully and thoughtfully, you will have a tattoo that you are proud of and enjoy for the rest of your life.

How Viruses Evolve to become a deadly one - Real Facts

2012-01-30T06:10:00.000-08:00

Nurses Talk - So many scientist and doctors in the world are working 24 hours finding the cause of a certain epedimic when it happens and once they know the Where it started, their attention will then focus on how it started. In getting the roots of a certain virus there are many things to consider and sometimes before they could come up a discovery so many experiments are have to be made. Recently, the scientist at Michigan State University have conducted an experiment and have explained well on how a new virus evolve to become deadly. The researchers open doors to many debates pertaining to viral mutations and evolution.
The scientists showed for the first time how the virus called "Lambda" evolved to find a new way to attack host cells, an innovation that took four mutations to accomplish. This virus infects bacteria, in particular the common E. coli bacterium. Lambda isn't dangerous to humans, but this research demonstrated how viruses evolve complex and potentially deadly new traits, noted Justin Meyer, MSU graduate student, who co-authored the paper with Richard Lenski, MSU Hannah Distinguished Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics.

The myths about Breast Feeding - Facts and Answers

2012-01-19T17:39:00.000-08:00

Nurses Talk - Here are different myths that women think about breast feeding and because of these myths, some of these have threaten the lives of their babies and their own. Breast feeding is natural and very helpful for mothers and many women may be reluctant to breast feed because they are afraid to lose their youthful figure. But according to research that no matter how many times you have done it, it could only contribute little impact on breast shape. If you really want to know the cause of sagging it is due to smoking, excess weight, greater number of pregnancies and age.

1.       Many women think that they could no longer produce sufficient milk.
- That is not true, women have enough supply for the baby. If the baby could not gain weight that is not because you don’t have sufficient milk, but because the baby is not latching properly to the breast, you have to make sure the baby does the correct thing.
2.       Many women thought that a mother should drink milk, so that she could produce sufficient milk.
- That is not true, whether the mother drinks milk or not, if she is healthy she has milk. A healthy diet of vegetables is the answer to make the mother healthy, vegetables, fruits and food with hi-protein are the best it surely produce milk.
3.       Many women think that if they have had cosmetic breast surgery they could no longer breastfeed their babies.
-          That is not true; many women who have had breast augmentation or reduction have gone on to breastfeed. It is very important that women must know the effects of breast with regards to breastfeeding before having a breast surgery. Because if the procedures are somewhat reposition of nipple and areola, that could affect breasts for breast feeding.
4.       Many said that women who breast feed should not eat spicy food and drink liquors.
-          That is not true; all the food that eaten will be digested before the woman’s body creates milk.   A breastfeeding woman can drink and eat spicy food occasionally, a single glass of beer or wine on instance and when you eat spicy food just do it occasionally.
5.       Many said that Breastfeeding is substitute for birth control
-          That is wrong, while in many occasion ovulation is suppressed during breastfeeding, but that that could not stop from creating another baby, when there’s an intercourse.

Here are helpful and healthy tips
· Drink more water. A woman’s body cannot naturally make milk if she is dehydrated. Drink at least one glass of water every hour. This tip could give you a bountiful of supply even when you are sleeping while breastfeeding. Doctors have even suggested a beer to help supply more milk for your baby.
· You be better Feed more often. According to many that if you are not feeding every few hours the woman’s body could not naturally produce milk. The further you breast feed the supplementary milk your body will produce.

Sausages and Cancer

2012-01-14T01:37:00.000-08:00

Nursing Talk - This is one of the new health news that sounds alarming to those people who are with Cancer and those who are soon to become one. As most health articles and health professionals would say that processed foods are not good and bad for the health. Sausage is one of the top-selling processed food in the market and according to the experts one bite of it could cause serious problem especially if you are already having cancer. If you eat one sausage a day it could raise the risk of bowel cancer, which is considered as one of the be most deadliest cancer diseases. In Great Britain alone there were recorded 16,000 victims of bowel cancer and we all know that Londoners love to eat bacon and sausages.

"The evidence is that whether you are talking about bacon, ham or pastrami, the safest amount to eat is none at all.
"When you consider that eating 50g of processed meat a day can increase your risk of bowel cancer by about a fifth, it is clear that you can make a positive difference by cutting out as much as possible."

Other Diseases Related to Processed Meats

1. Colon Cancer
2. Bladder Cancer
3. Heart Disease
4. Blindness

As much as possible let's avoid processed food, though they all taste delicious and best for snacks but always remember these foods are real killers.

How to Speed up your PC or Laptops

2012-01-08T21:03:00.000-08:00

Nursing Informatics - When we are busy working with so many computer stuff and other Nursing Informatics related work sometimes it is very stressful when our laptops or PC suddenly lags. Of course we are not that expert that we can easily identify the cause of it and most of us would blame on viruses and other important programs that we installed, but we can't easily uninstall. So the final verdict is we keep pushing ourselves to buy a new PC or Laptop. So should we replace our Dual Cores or I3 Laptops to I7 or Core 2 Quad Laptops for our simple document or spreadsheet processing needs? Actually I always laugh when I see some users who keep blaming there laptops resources for the lags, but eventually there are ways to fix it in a simple way that you don't need an expert to do the job. Powerful processors are intended for huge processing jobs such as working with multimedia and sophisticated programming projects, but if your task is just simply accessing programs and doing some word processing and spreadsheet jobs your dual core laptop with 1-2 gig ram can handle it, if it's slow then here are the possible reasons:

1. So many unwanted programs running
2. Your hard disk is full or close to that - transfer some of your files to Portable hard drive, clean your Temp Folder in Drive C: - Better run Disk Cleanup (Accessories/System tools)
3. Stop running Windows Aero - it eats your resources
4. Some windows applications are having bad sectors and data loss - Better run Defragmenter ( Accessories/System tools)
5. Disable the use of Windows 7 theme

Going to Simala - Can it Help?

2012-01-07T04:46:00.000-08:00

Nursing Talk - Many Nursing Graduates in the Philippines who are about to take the Local Nursing Board Exam are eager to visit the Miraculous Virgin de Simala in Simala, Sibongga Cebu, Philippines. It is now a tradition to many Local Board Exam takers to go there as pilgrims, they will pray that the Holy Virgin Mary would give them wisdom to pass the exam, some would spend nights and donate anything precious to them. Filipino Nursing Graduates exert all efforts religiously when preparing for Board Exams, believing that miracles can happen during exams. And what is funny by the time they become Nurses only few of them would stick with their faith and their Christian responsibility, while the majority can be found in many clubs. So before I will talk about the significance of Religion towards taking Board Exams.... Let's talk first how to get to Simala.

Getting There
The Simala Church is located in Simala, Sibonga Cebu. It all started as a small chapel, which was cared and managed by Marian Monks of the Eucharistic Adoration. According to the local folks and to the monks of Simala Church that they witnessed several miracles and one of the miracles that they witnessed several times is the crying of the statue of Virgin Mary. By then hundreds of pilgrims travel to Sibonga and visit the Simala Church. In the past decade the church was very small but because of non-stop flow of donation by many pilgrims and by commercializing the Church, it's structure changed to a very elegant and beautiful Church on the mountainous Sibonga.

Getting there is you have to be in Cebu City then go to South Bus Terminal and ride a Ceres Bus going to Sibonga. It's easy to find the Church because the Bus driver will inform the passengers once you get there. It’s a 2 hour and a half hour ride from Cebu, by the time you reach the stop point for the Church you will take a motorcycle ride to bring you to the Sanctuary.

Is it worth to Go there?

If you are a devoted Christian and a tourist it is worth to go there, but if you are just asking for something I don't think that is appropriate. You see if you really want God to help you out with your coming exam, you can still express your concerns in any church that can be comfortable to you and to your faith. I met so many nursing graduates who are trying their very best to reach Simala, some of them lied to their parents just to get there. That is no longer Godly, but some sort of exploiting God's goodness....it is now becoming superstitious, a taboo or a tradition...and I don't think there is faith there. One thing the Church is becoming too commercial, you can find expensive souvenirs and candles there. So good luck!

Nurses Talk - Recently we just read a very sad story of a 15 year old Afghan bride who was tortured by her in laws and force to enter prostitution. Sahar Gul had bruised in all sides of his body and face, her eyes were swollen as she was wheeled to the Hospital. The abused from her in laws and husband just came right after their marriage and her worst beating just came just seven months from it.
Ending abuse of women is a huge challenge in a patriarchal society where traditional practices include child marriage, giving girls away to settle debts or pay for their relatives' crimes and so-called honor killings in which girls seen as disgracing their families are murdered by their relatives.
And some women activists worry that their hard-won political rights may erode as foreign troops withdraw and Karzai's government seeks to negotiate with the Taliban to end their insurgency. Women's rights, they fear, may be the first to go in any deal with the hardline Islamic militants. Many women in Afghanistan wanted to flee from their country due to the bad culture which rooted from the time of Taliban rule. Some women committed heinous crimes to fight for their rights and survival from the hands of their husband and in-laws. What is worst most of these women that we are talking about were as young as 15 years old. There were cases that many young girls after force marriage were raped and some were force to prostitution, there were also so many cases of physical abuse that sometimes could nearly end the lives to these poor young women.

Healthful Food Choices During Pregnancy

Nurse Talk-These recommendations are here to guide your choices. As you make small changes, hopefully you will develop good habits that will serve you and your children well throughout your lifetimes.

Eat mostly vegetables and fruits--strong colors tend to be the most vitamin-rich.
Get sources of protein from chicken, lean meats, fish (choose fish that tend to be low in mercury), tofu, or low-fat dairy sources. If you are vegan vegetarian, you will need to learn about nutrition to meet your protein and vitamin needs.
Take in most of your carbs as whole grains: brown rice and whole wheat. Downplay white foods.
Don't drink your calories--our bodies don't know when we take in liquid nutrition and oftentimes we don't count it in our daily intake. Sodas and juices contain a lot of calories.
Eat food that looks like food, not processed into something else.
Eat what your appetite tells you to--eat when you are hungry, take your time, and stop just before you are full.
When you do eat foods that are not "ideal," take a small portion, and enjoy every minute of it.
If you eat from stress, habit, boredom, or to socialize, find alternative ways to meet those needs. Keep your hands busy, go for a walk, listen to music, phone a friend.
Pay attention to your food while you are eating it. Don't watch television or read, or you may eat more than you meant to and still not really be satisfied.

Habits are hard to change, but when we get used to making good food choices and eating to allay hunger (as opposed to the myriad other reasons we eat), we can all really enjoy the tastes and textures of our sustenance, and be healthy too!

If your clock is ticking and you're wondering the best way to get your fertility jump-started, read on.
Seasonal Timing is Everything
According to Chinese medicine, seasons really do affect fertility. Chinese medicine looks to the energetic cycles of the universe for health answers; the female and male energies - also known as yin and yang - rise and fall throughout the year.
Male energy begins in the spring and peaks around June 21, the summer solstice. Female energy begins in autumn and peaks around December 21, the winter solstice. This means that the most fertile seasons for males are spring and summer; for women, autumn and winter.
Studies performed in China have confirmed that sperm production is generally more abundant and mobile during spring and summer. Conversely, the ovaries are more active and produce more follicles during fall and winter.
One possible explanation is that because men are more physically active during the spring and summer months, growth hormone and testicular functions correspondingly increase. As for women: because ovulation occurs ideally at a lowered body temperature, it makes sense that the cooler autumn and winter months equal increased fertility.
Something to know: too high of a temperature is not conducive to fertility. It has been found that when environmental temperature is overly hot - and the body is above the ideal temperature of 98.6 - there seems to be a drop in the testicular function for men and a delayed maturation of follicles in women.
Live Food Gives New Life
Mother nature has given us foods that naturally enhance fertility. The medical tradition of China - renowned as the country with the most populous people in the world - has long considered certain foods to be of particular value in increasing success with fertility.
These foods that contain the potential for new life include eggs, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, and berries. Since these foods are themselves capable of propagation when hatched or sprouted, they are said to be abundant in life-giving energy.
It is no wonder that modern science has confirmed them as a category unto themselves; they are complete foods providing essential amino acids and helping to form the building block of protein. They are also high in the essential fatty acids (EFAs) critical for hormonal health and chock full of the antioxidants that prevent a premature decline in function and aging.
Fertility Enhancement
Here are a few ways a woman can help prepare herself for pregnancy:
1. Some evidence indicates that a woman's menstrual cycle and ovulation is affected by her amount of exposure to light. Less exposure to light corresponds to increased depression and a decrease in fertility.
As part of her fertility enhancing strategy, a woman may want increase her exposure to natural or full spectrum light during the day.
2. However, at night, any light should be completely blocked for adequate sleep; that means at least eight hours of sleep, and going to bed no later than 11 p.m.
3. Another measure a woman can take is to keep her body temperature slightly lower to create a more conducive environment for ovulation and maturation of follicles.
4. Moderate, low impact exercise can be of help - definitely avoid intense, high-impact physical workouts, which can actually inhibit fertility.
5. It is essential to keep stress low. Stress busters include meditation and tai chi.
I hope you can use this information to successfully prepare for pregnancy! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.

Chocolates makes your skin beautiful

2011-12-05T22:12:00.000-08:00

Nurse Talk - Many Nurses love to eat chocolates most of my friends love chocolates but none of them talk about the positive side of it, they only argue about the taste of chocolates. Anyways there are so many issues about chocolates too especially to those are suffering from diabetes. Nurses are aware of that, but hey our discussion for today focus on the positive contribution by the chocolates. According to some doctors... it makes you Beautiful!

source: Marlene Alphonse
Consuming chocolates is known to have a number of positive effects on the overall health of an individual. When it comes to skin care, chocolates can be used as packs, scrubs and wraps. Spas and salons are also making the use of chocolates in their skin treatment techniques, which yield positive results. Mentioned here are some of the benefits of dark chocolate for skin.

Flavonoids, which are a type of antioxidants contain a compound called epicatechins. This component has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties which protect the skin from damage, caused due to pollution, exposure to harmful chemicals and smoking.
Collagen and elastin play a key role in preventing wrinkles and skin discoloration. However, free radicals present in the body tend to destroy these components of the skin, thereby triggering skin problems. Chocolate, especially the dark version, is a rich source of flavanols, a type of flavonoids, which help in fighting against free radicals. They also repair damaged cells, making the skin healthy and blemish-free.
Cocoa, the main ingredient of this sweet treat, is known to increase the moisture in the skin, making it hydrated, and thereby preventing its flaking. Since skin density is improved, with the regular consumption of dark chocolate, you can now bid goodbye to dry, scratchy and rough skin.
Dark chocolate acts as a shield to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. There is considerable improvement in blood circulation and age spots also tend to fade away. Due to this, the skin appears to have a refreshing and dewy appearance.

Laptops and Wifi - can kill your sperms

2011-12-04T02:17:00.000-08:00

Nurse Talk - Here is a very interesting news for men who are using laptops and WI-FIs most of their time.
source: Yahoo News

Laptop computers with WiFi may be damaging men's sperm, at least according to a new study published last week in the journal Fertility and Sterility.
To test the theory, Argentinian researchers put drops of healthy sperm near a laptop downloading data. After four hours, a quarter of the sperm had stopped swimming, compared to 14 percent of sperm in the control group placed away from the computer. In addition, 9 percent of sperm near the computer had DNA damage, three times more than the sperm in the control group.

The culprit? Electromagnetic radiation from the wireless internet, noted the scientists. Still, they say at this point the results are not conclusive until more research can be done.

In another study published in the same journal, US researchers placed temperature sensors on the scrotums of 29 men. The men set to work using laptop computers on their laps, and after 10 to 15 minutes had elapsed, scrotum temperatures rose to levels known to damage sperm production.

For maximum sperm production, testicles need to remain cool, even one to two degrees below body temperature. Using a laptop computer can cause temperatures to rise by 2.5°C in one hour, according to the study.

One way around this problem? Use a desk. Or try a laptop pad and keep your legs apart, but men, this will only buy you 20 minutes before your testicles heat up to sperm-killing temperatures, according to the study's lead urologist Dr. Yefim Sheynkin of the University of New York at Stony Brook.

Eating Chicken makes you Gay

2011-12-03T18:36:00.000-08:00

Nurse Talk - This is a very interesting discussion about men, chicken and gay. Well sounds funny right? But yes! Many arguments have done regarding this issue, that eating chicken makes you a gay. Here is a statement from President of Bolivia Evo Morales, who is considered a champion of gay rights in Latin America. He made gay-friendly organizations puzzled and mad on his remarks, that eating genetically modified chicken leads to both homosexuality and baldness in men.

------------------------

------------------------

Morales made his comments during a recent climate summit in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
“The chicken we eat is loaded with feminine hormones. For this reason, eating this chicken leads to disorders in men,” Morales said. “In Europe, all men are bald, and it’s because of what they eat. You don’t see bald men among the indigenous peoples.”
During his remarks, Morales also said that it was commonplace in Bolivia for janitors who clean bathrooms to use Coca-Cola to unclog toilets.
Spanish artist Cuco Suarez, who is bald, responded to the comments by saying, “I am going to start eating genetically modified chicken to make sure I don’t start growing hair again.” The mayor of the Spanish town of Oviedo also reacted saying, “Evo has figured out the reason why I am bald. Now I know who to sue.”
The statements by Morales also caused an uproar among homosexual groups in Latin America.

Now you know why Philippines has so many Gays and their Macho Stars and singers are slowly turn to homosexuals, well of course there are so many Chicken fast food chains in the Philippines.

Signs that your Nurse Girlfriend is cheating on you

2011-12-03T18:06:00.000-08:00

Nurse Talk - Many nurses work abroad and leave their love ones behind and what is not good to hear is that they are working in the foreign land for many years. You are left alone and of course your mind is going anywhere and maybe you are asking your self - Is she doing good there?

------------------------

------------------------

I heard many stories about the life of Nurses in the Middle-East and in the US, that many of them are hungry for attention and comfort. These professionals are stressed by their work and much worst they missed home and they miss somebody to comfort them. Mixed stories I heard that they comforting each other (men and women alike) and that creates feelings! Some cheating are created by their friends they make arrangements and initiating the dates and etc. So if you are left home, you better call her always.

Here is an advice

Relationships go in cycles, they have ups and downs and people also go in cycles having ups and downs (for example the changing your appearance part is bullshit because as a female I change my appearance according to how I am feeling--oh I got a new haircut...no I'm not sleeping with someone else I was most likely down on myself and wanted a boost!)
You want advice. Communication....and I don't mean "are you cheating one me?" I mean from the beginning talk about each of your expectations for a relationship and talk about any trust issues you have.
Not every relationship has to have full fidelity if both partners feel they are mentally and emotionally capable of handling such an arrangement. Not every relationship has to be lovey-dovey at every moment for people to be happy and most importantly committed to each other.
If some cheats on you and breaks your trust, then I am sorry for that. However, you are not special-look at this post for an example on how often that happens. Also that cheating partner is not a horrible person...just not the right person with the same relationship expectations and goals as you. Keep your chin up, don't lose hope, and find someone you are more compatible with!

Nurse Talk - This is one good article useful for nurses who are too much involve in science and have neglected spiritual values toward patient care. Most patients have strong faith in their religion and sometimes their beliefs encourage them to survive what ever medical attention their body demands. The role of spirituality in promoting health and improving patients' responses to illness is receiving increasing attention. In fact, ministering to the spiritual needs of patients and families has been identified as an essential element of clinical care. Read the Full article - >

Nurse Talk - How would Nurses handle the dying, some new nurses and nursing students suffered emotional breakdown when caring patients who are dying. I have talked to several nursing students about their experiences and most of them experienced sadness and emotional discomfort when their patients died in their hands.

So what are the attitudes of Nurses when they are into situation with a dying patient.

Coping Mechanisms for Physically disabled children

2011-12-02T09:14:00.000-08:00

Nurse Talk - Physically challenged child's
development like physical, emotional, mental and social is slower, to a greater or lesser extent, than that of a normalchild, even though the handicapped child is of normal intelligence. So his/her concept of himself/herself, as a separate
entity, is more difficult to achieve from the beginning. Mostly the physically
disabled children are blocked by the frustration and due to the frustration these children attack on others or
himself/herself.

1 .Building the Self-concept and Self-esteem: It was found from the reviews that these children have very poor self-
concept as well as poor self-esteem so it is the duty of every person to encourage and develop confidence in the
children. There are many activities these children can be involved in games and creative activities. This will help
in development of positive self-concept, self-worth and self-esteem.
2. Acceptance of ones disability: Rather than being ashamed of their disability these children need to accept it. It is
the responsibility of the community that they provide healthy environment for these children and develop positive
attitude regarding their disability.
3 .Physical activities: There is an absence of physical activity that the children enjoyed. There are many activities
these children can be involved in like games, sports and creative activities. This will help in channelizing their
energies and reduce the frustration level.
4. Social involvement: Physically challenged institutionalized children's social involvement was very low.
Institutions should provide outdoor activities like picnics, educational trips, camps, so that these children interact
with other peoples and try to understand the world. In this way they try to modify their behavior and also try to
control their emotions especially frustration reactions.
5 .Community based rehabilitation: Community can help by giving free seats to these students in various
professional as well as vocational courses. This will motivate these students to go in for higher education, as they
belong to low-income families.
6 .Vocational training: Although the institution provides vocational training like knitting, tailoring and music but it
is not sufficient in today's world to earn his or her living so institute should go in for computer education,
technical education and provide more avenues to children

Kids and Cancer: Telling Your Child They Have Cancer
^source:^{Lisa Fayed}
Why Should I Tell My Child?
Telling your child about his or her cancer is a personal matter, and family, cultural, or religious beliefs will come into play.
It is important to be open and honest with your child because children who are not told about their illness often imagine things that are not true. For example, a child may think he or she has cancer as punishment for doing something wrong. Health professionals generally agree that telling children the truth about their illness leads to less stress and guilt. Children who know the truth are also more likely to cooperate with treatment. Finally, talking about cancer often helps to bring the family closer together and makes dealing with the cancer a little easier for everyone.
Parent's Questions
Parents have many questions about talking with their children about the diagnosis. Perhaps you have asked some of these yourself.
When Should My Child Be Told?
Because you are probably the best judge of your child's personality and moods, you are the best person to decide when your child should be told. Keep in mind, though, that your child is likely to know early on that something is wrong, so you may want to tell your child soon after the diagnosis. In fact, most parents say it is easiest to tell them then. Waiting days or weeks may give your child time to imagine worse things than the truth and develop fears that may be hard to dispel later. Certainly, it would be easier for your child if he or she is told before treatment starts.
The answer to this question is personal. As a parent, you may feel that it is best for you to tell your child. Some parents, however, find it too painful to do so. Other family members or the treatment team - doctor, nurse, or social worker - may be able to help you. They may either tell your child for you or help you explain the illness.
Thinking about what you are going to say and how to say it will help you feel more relaxed. But how do you decide just what to say? Family and close friends, members of the treatment team, parents of other children who have cancer, members of support groups (you can find information about them at the end of this booklet), and clergy members can offer ideas.
Who Should Be There?
Your child needs love and support when hearing the diagnosis.
Even if the doctor explains the illness, someone your child trusts and depends upon should be present. Having the support of other family members at this time can be very helpful.

What Should My Child Be Told?

How much information and the best way to relate this information depends on your child's age and what your child can understand. Being gentle, open, and honest is usually best.
The following sections describe what most children in various age groups are likely to understand. These guidelines are general; each child is different. Your child may fit into more than one or none of these categories.
Up to 2 Years Old
Children this young do not understand cancer. They understand what they can see and touch. Their biggest concern is what is happening to them right now. They worry most about being away from their parents.
After children are a year old, they think about how things feel and how to control things around them. Very young children are most afraid of medical tests.
Many cry, run away, or squirm to try to control what is happening.
Because children begin to think about and understand what is going on around them at about 18 months, it is best to be honest. Be truthful about trips to the hospital and explain procedures that may hurt. You can tell your child that needle sticks will hurt a minute and that it is okay to cry. Being honest lets your child know that you understand and accept his or her feelings and helps your child trust you.
When you can, give your child choices. For example, if a medicine is taken by mouth, you might ask if your child would like it mixed in apple juice, grape juice, or applesauce.
2 to 7 Years Old
When children are between the ages of 2 and 7, they link events to one thing. For example, they usually tie illness to a specific event such as staying in bed or eating chicken soup. Children this age often think their illness is caused by a specific action. Therefore, getting better will "just happen" or will come if they follow a set of rules.
These approaches might help when talking with a child in this age group:

Explain that treatment is needed so the hurting will go away or so the child can get better and play without getting so tired.
Explain that the illness or treatment is not punishment for something the child has done, said, or thought.
Be honest when you explain tests and treatments. Remind the child that all of these things are being done to get rid of the cancer and to help him or her get well.
Use simple ways to explain the illness. For example, try talking about the cancer as a contest between "good" cells and "bad" cells.
Having treatment will help the good cells to be stronger so that they can beat the bad cells.

How to Tell Your Older Child

7 to 12 Years Old
Children ages 7 to 12 are starting to understand links between things and events. For example, a child this age sees his or her illness as a set of symptoms, is less likely to believe that something he or she did caused the illness, understands that getting better comes from taking medicines and doing what the doctor says, and is able to cooperate with treatment.
You can give more details when explaining cancer, but you should still use situations your child may be used to. You might say that the body is made of up different types of cells, and these cells have different jobs to do. Like people, these cells must work together to get the job done. You might describe the cancer cells as "troublemakers" that get in the way of the work of the good cells.
Treatment helps to get rid of the troublemakers so that other cells can work well together.
12 Years and Older
Children over 12 years old can often understand complicated relationships between events. They can think about things that have not happened to them. Teenagers tend to think of illness in terms of specific symptoms, such as tiredness, and in terms of limits or changes in their everyday activity. But because they also can understand the reason for their symptoms, you can explain cancer as a disease in which a few cells in the body go "haywire." These "haywire" cells grow more quickly than normal cells, invade other parts of the body, and get in the way of how the body usually works. The goal of treatment is to kill the "haywire" cells. The body can then work normally again, and the symptoms will go away.
