My 6 year old was just diagnosed with Leukemia and i have know idea what to say?
What should i do to confort her and how to explain it to her. What is to come? I know chemo will wear her out and she will lose her hair but what else do i need to know about it. Please help!

You just need to be there for her. Tell her that her body needs medicine, and that you and the doctors are going to help her feel better. There are resources available to you and your family. Check out whyme.com, it has support services for children and their families battling cancer. And there are many others on the net.
You, your daughter and your family are in my prayers.

Oh, I am so sorry! Just tell her that the doctors are going to use all the special treatments they have to attack the ugly leukemia cells and leave the fresh, beautiful ones behind, but she has to help them by being brave and believing that she will be all right. Also, let her know that you will be there for everything. You should let the doctor do the bulk of the explaining, though, because pediatric oncologists tend to have a wonderful bedside manner and have taken special classes to learn how to explain leukemia to kids. God bless you both.

I'm sorry to hear of the news. You can obtain a lot of help and information by contacting the American Cancer Society.
As for telling your child, don't lie. Tell her the truth always. "You're very sick honey but we're going to fight it with everything we can". Her doctor can also probably recommend some agencies in your area that can offer help and support. Good luck, I'll keep you and your daughter in my thoughts and prayers.
