Caring for a child with cancer presents overwhelming emotional and physical challenges for mothers, despite advancements in medical technology reducing some side effects of invasive treatments. 

Cultural and religious beliefs significantly influence how mothers cope with their child’s illness and alleviate emotional distress. 

In Malaysia, mothers are often seen as primary caregivers, responsible for child-rearing and household duties. 

This role becomes even more demanding when illness strikes, with mothers traditionally taking on caregiving tasks both at home and in hospitals. 

Despite the growing trend of shared parenting, mothers continue to bear the greater burden of domestic and caregiving responsibilities.

Through in-depth conversations with Malaysian mothers at a teaching hospital in Kuala Lumpur, the author unveils the complex emotions and experiences of mothers as they navigate their child’s cancer journey, including diagnosis, invasive treatments, and frequent hospitalizations. 

These insights highlight how the illness profoundly affects their sense of motherhood, aspirations, and livelihoods. 

The book not only provides an understanding of the challenges mothers face but also serves as an inspiring resource for other caregivers of pediatric cancer patients, offering encouragement and support during their journeys.
