If you join this study, you would either spend time coloring mandalas before your intrathecal chemotherapy treatment, or be in a comparison group that does not do this activity. Either way, researchers will ask you questions about your anxiety and fear levels before and after the procedure to see if the mandala coloring made a difference. The study involves 60 children total and takes place at a children's hospital in Turkey.
