Kids hear about cancer. But do they know what it is? Do they know the facts from fiction?
With World Cancer Day coming up on Feb. 4, in part two of our coverage, 'Kids Talk: the ABC's of Cancer', we asked kids those very questions, since, as experts say, knowing the truth about cancer is important.

"It really, really hurts," said Carmen.
