Facing a child’s cancer diagnosis requires extraordinary courage - from the child and from their family. While doctors and medical specialists lead the treatment, parents and caregivers play an equally important role. They become a steady source of strength in guiding, comforting and supporting their child through an incredibly difficult journey.

We've highlighted three ways to bring comfort and reassurance to your child as you help them navigate a cancer diagnosis.

Have you heard of mole mapping?

It's an advanced dermatological screening that carefully tracks and monitors your moles over time to help detect signs of skin cancer. Early intervention can also reduce the need for a biopsy. Your skin tells a story about your health. Staying informed and monitoring your moles can save your life, so we’ve compiled a list of changes to look out for.

At Madwaleni he was involved in establishing an in-patient rehabilitation ward with a full interdisciplinary team, as well as overseeing a student programme for Walter Sisulu University.
