One of the most essential experiences while working with cancer children is the existential fear of death and dying. It becomes particularly strong when patient and his family face a diagnosis or deterioration of child’s health. Sometimes it is possible to speak about the fear but in most of the cases it remains unspoken, noticeable only in patient’s activities or plays. Suppressed fear can enhance the feeling of isolation and emotional suffering. There is no best way of speaking with pediatric patients about death. Child can give us discreet hints of his fear but the question remains: are adults – doctors, nurses and psychologist – ready to hear about dying? Certainly, adults do not accept children’s death easily. In this case study, we consider the existential aspects of cancer and discuss the use of projective techniques in work with pediatric cancer patients. The study illustrates how the tools like Sceno-test can capture patients’ inner experience when words and other measures are not able to. Słowa kluczowe: białaczka, Scenotest, metody projekcyjne, lęk przed śmiercią.
