Cancer Really Sucks

How to Deal

Cancer Really Sucks is a website designed for teenagers by teenagers who have loved ones
facing cancer. We hope to help you deal with your questions and emotions through the
healthy and effective coping strategies found in our How to Deal section. Teens are also able
to post stories about their situations, ask other teens questions, speak with professionals
through live chat, and much more. This project was partially supported by a grant from the
Linn County Supervisors Witwer Trust.

Next Chat:
July (Exact date will be announced soon)

When I was 9 years old my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. My feelings ranged from sad to confused to hopeful. My feelings don't matter- all that matters is that my mother lives a faith-filled life and the holy spirit heals her.
