Laura DeKraker Lang-Ree: The Cancer Parent's Handbook

10/13/2026

Thrilled to be working with CAC2 as their guest blogger. Every month, I'll write about pediatric oncology, focusing on families and caregivers. I'd love to partner with other CAC2 members on upcoming blog posts!

I’m excited to be writing a monthly guest blog for CAC2, keeping families and caregivers at the center of the pediatric oncology conversation. For those in the pediatric oncology space, I’d love to work with you on future posts! If there’s a topic you care about or a story we should tell together, please connect.

Treatment is over. The feelings may still be complicated. 💛

Laura DeKraker Lang-Ree: The Cancer Parent's Handbook shares a compassionate look at mental health after childhood cancer treatment, with guidance for survivors and caregivers navigating what comes next.

I started by reading the preview of your book and immediately started crying. I bought it sooo fast after reading the first couple of pages. This book is exactly what I was looking for when I first learned of my child’s diagnosis a month ago. I only wish I had this book then. I’m so excited for my book to arrive. I just know that I’m going to get so much out of your book as I continue through this journey with my family. Thank you for creating this book for us. Anna, Cancer Mama” Thank you, Anna!

September is GOLD for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!

As parents of kids with cancer know, pediatric cancer is ANYTHING but rare. Despite improved treatments, the incidence of cancer in kids is not going down. So what are we going to do about it?

This month, get loud! Tell your story. Share your journey (comment here!) and encourage those around us to get involved so that childhood cancer can one day be merely a memory.

And remember, The Cancer Parents Handbook is available everywhere to help you with the everyday details of life with a child in treatment.

I’ve got you.

Becoming the caregiver for a kid with cancer changes your whole life - and in so many unexpected ways. Check out my article for Elephants and Tea -can you relate?

Love this! Back when our daughter was a patient at LPCH the idea of school was a dream. For our kids “School” becomes a hospital program, or it’s virtual or at home. To make it all feel a little more “normal”, take 30 seconds to send a note of love and encouragement to a child in treatment! Thanks Lucile Packard Foundation for this wonderful program! lpfch.org/send-a-note/?utm_source=mr meta&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ag26&gclsrc=ds&gad_source=7&gad_campaignid=23282073095

Don’t try to fix this alone anymore. Help is here 💛
