The Everyday Lives of Children with Cancer in Argentina: Going beyond the Disease and Treatment
Vindrola-Padros, Cecilia
Children & Society, v26 n6 p430-442 Nov 2012
Most of the literature on paediatric oncology treatment has provided descriptions of children's everyday lives that are circumscribed to periods of hospitalisation. In this paper, I argue that the political and economic context where children receive oncology treatment as well as the particular trajectories of their families influence their experiences. The narratives from children receiving treatment in three public hospitals in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were collected. Their stories indicate that issues such as the interruption of school, the separation of family members, the expenses incurred during treatment, and barriers to care influence the everyday lives of children and should be included in paediatric oncology research. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
