School, work, uni, TAFE. Life still goes on even if someone has cancer.

Life at Home
Once cancer is diagnosed, life at home becomes completely different. And it probably won't ever go back to the way it was. Your role at home and relationships with family members may change as well. -
School
If you're in school it forms a big chunk of your life. Having cancer in your family can affect you at school in lots of ways - academically and socially. -
