Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer

During treatment for cancer, children and adolescents experience distressing symptoms that may persist after treatment is completed. Researchers have found that childhood cancer survivors, who are now adults, have a higher occurrence of fatigue and sleep problems than their healthy siblings. We also know that some types of chemotherapy cause patients to have difficulties with balance that continue years after treatment. It is important to address these symptoms to improve the survivor's quality of life and to give them the energy and skills needed for their ongoing development.
