This specialized unit provides support until patients reach the age of 18. According to Mari Molero, head of the service, two out of three children suffer from long-term side effects, with one-third facing severe health issues. The team includes oncologists, psychologists, and physical trainers to help children reintegrate into schools and daily life.
“"The goal is for them to rebuild their lives with maximum guarantees and autonomy."
The story of Marcel, a 14-year-old from Sant Antoni de Vilamajor, highlights the unit's success. After surviving Hodgkin's lymphoma, he has returned to playing football and studying, with dreams of becoming a doctor at the same hospital that saved him. Meanwhile, other patients like Aina continue to manage complex conditions such as diabetes insipidus resulting from their previous treatments.
