The realilty of living with advanced Head and Neck cancer is that circumstances can change and escalate quickly. On top of that we often find it difficult to talk about death, how to prepare ourselves and our families for it.

Oracle Cancer Trust has worked together with Debs Adams, the Education Lead from the Child Bereavment Support Charity Simon Says to deliver this podcast episode for parents, caregivers, family friends, teachers, youth workers or anyone else who wants to understand how they can help a child that has lost or will loose a significant person in their life to Head and Neck cancer.
