Preparing Your Child for Medical Procedures
Your child will likely have many medical tests and procedures. These help doctors learn more about your child's cancer and guide treatment decisions.
It is common for both children and parents to feel anxiety about tests and procedures. But with preparation, you can lower anxiety for you and your child.
Common fears
Children's fears may depend on their age and personality:
