Hi

Not sure how to use this page sorry

I found "maggies" really helpfull. They support people with cancer and their family. Your daughter could talk to someone in confidence there. 

Thank you I've got a leaflet somewhere in all the paperwork I've been given

I also found this info on this site

We have an Emotional support forum on the Community too. It’s a space you can share openly about your feelings in a safe and anonymous way.

Have you spoken to her school about it as they can support her and they may have access to MH support for pupils.  They don't just support academic MH issues but family/health issues too.  They should also sign post her to online resources that are safe.   Look on the school and council website .  I'm in Wales and my LA has links online to many support groups.  

In a way it's good she could open up by having her melt down.  She's scared and needs your soft honesty about your treatment, recovery plan and how you feel uncertain at the moment too but each test/appointment gives you more information on how your treatment will progress.  My daughter was older - 19 and away in uni so quite different to a 12 year old dealing with her own growing issues.  This must feel like more adult stuff being foisted on her when she has no reference points for dealing with.  Reassure her of how treatable BC is, how the treatment may lay you low you'll still be her mothering support.  That you don't want her to be your carer but will appreciate her company and the odd cup of tea and biscuit.  Involve her but don't burden her,  xx
