      So I had to look this up because I didn’t know the answer – lymphoma and leukaemias, which are cancers of the blood/lymph node system, and some brain cancers. Luckily childhood cancers are very rare, but the pattern of cancers is very different from those that are most common in adults.

      Lots of blood cancers, mostly. SO lymphomas, leukaemias, etc. But also there are some common childhood brain cancers.
