Explaining any cancer diagnosis to a child is difficult
This includes melanoma.
MSCAN has been involved in the development of a comic book for kids aged 7 to 12 to help them understand melanoma.
The comic book is based on the real life story about a mum who is diagnosed with advanced melanoma. The ‘MediKidz’ superheros help to explain melanoma and the treatment to her daughter. It’s a great resource.
MSCAN can post a copy of the comic book to you.
The development of this resource was made possible with the support of Bristol Myers Squibb Company.
