The T Word is a personal blog created and written by Zoe to share our family’s experiences, thoughts and stories.
The content on this website reflects my own experiences, opinions and perspectives. Every child, family and situation is different, and nothing published on The T Word should be considered medical, legal or other professional advice.
Medical and health information
The T Word includes personal experiences relating to childhood cancer, brain tumour diagnosis and treatment, recovery, hospitals, disability, additional needs and family life.
Any information relating to health, treatment or medical care is shared as part of our own story and should not be used as a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
If you have concerns about your own health or the health of a child, you should seek appropriate professional medical advice.
Professional experience
I also write from the perspective of someone with many years of experience working within the children and young people with disabilities sector.
Where I discuss disability, additional needs, education, advocacy or support services, I am sharing my own knowledge, experiences and opinions. This content is provided for general information and should not be treated as individual professional advice.
Our story
The experiences shared on The T Word are personal to our family. They should not be taken as an indication of what another child or family will experience in similar circumstances.
Some posts discuss difficult or sensitive subjects, including childhood cancer, medical treatment and the emotional impact of serious illness.
Accuracy of information
I do my best to ensure that information shared on The T Word is accurate at the time of writing. However, medical guidance, services, policies and other information can change over time.
I cannot guarantee that all information will remain current or applicable to every situation.
External links
The T Word may include links to other websites or organisations that I believe readers may find useful.
I am not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices of external websites.
