Understanding parents\u2019 perceptions of the most disruptive and difficult aspects of B\u2010ALL treatment is critical to future improvements in care. We aimed to understand which child side effects, chemotherapeutic agents, and aspects of leukemia care are rated difficult or disruptive by parents, and variations based on parent or child characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Parents of children (1\u201319\u00a0years) currently or previously treated for B\u2010ALL who are members of the Momcology pediatric cancer support and advocacy organization were invited to complete an online survey on difficult and disruptive aspects associated with their child's diagnosis.

Nausea\/vomiting was the most commonly reported difficult side effect during pre\u2010maintenance therapy (55.4%), followed by decreased energy (41.4%) and neuropathy (40.7%). Mood changes were the most difficult side effect during maintenance therapy (29.3%). The extent of difficulty associated with each side effect reported was high. Most parents (79.6%) rated oral corticosteroids as the most difficult chemotherapeutic agent. The components of care most difficult and disruptive were unplanned hospital visits (79.9%) and compromised immunity (76.9%). Parent\u2010rated difficulties significantly varied by child age at diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Parents of children with B\u2010ALL report substantial child and family difficulties that are directly attributable to leukemia treatment.
