Sharlee - It is indeed sad that your daughter's friend lost her Mom through cancer. It could well be that she is relating to that. Even adults have a hard time talking about it or even thinking about it. When my son was diagnosed back in September '06 it took me a while before I could even look up Scc on the internet because I was so afraid of what I would find out. We are all cope in different ways when faced with a serious illness. It would certainly be nice if our OCF teens had each other to email/talk to. I agree with Amy, tho' about those teen sites on the internet. You never know which weirdo is also checking them out. There is also a great benefit in face-to-face talk therapy with a qualified psychologist or therapist. Shouldn't insurance pay for this when it applies to the children of a cancer survivor? My heart goes out to all these very special and brave OCF teens who are themselves also surviving some very difficult times.
