  100 diseases that are characterized by the

  chaotic multiplication of neoplastic cells and the

  ability to metastasize. The child cancer cause

  changes in the life of the child and his family.

  The children are one of the perceived causes

  questionnaire, semi-structured interview and

  marital satisfaction scale. The descriptive

  statistical analysis showed that the highest
