    ‘Welcome to my world’ – researcher inspired by personal experience to improve support for parents of a child with cancer 16 March 2022 Ms Davies has recently published a paper in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology which found most parents of a child with cancer believe the COVID-19 pandemic provides greater understanding in the community of the everyday issues they face. The study was inspired through her own experience parenting a daughter who was diagnosed with a cancer eight years ago and her gratitude to Head of Oncology and Haematology at Perth Children’s Hospital, Professor Nick Gottardo. Professor Gottardo is now co-supervising Ms Davies’ PhD. The study highlights how the widespread anxiety and disruption to normal routines during COVID-19 is all too familiar for parents of a child with cancer. Ms Davies said the common complaints expressed during COVID-19 such as loss of income, fear of infection, social isolation and interruption to school were routine for families of children going through cancer,...
