Every month, featured experts answer your questions about coping with cancer.

For Any Cancer Diagnosis

• I am 16 years old. My mother died of cancer when I was 12. I am still grieving deeply about it. What can I do to feel better?
• My teenage son has had body-image issues since having cancer. His treatments caused him to gain weight and surgeries left him with scars. How can I help him deal with this?
• I have a 14-year-old son who doesn't seem to want to talk about my cancer at all. I know it's hard for him, but it also can't be good for him to keep things bottled up. What should I do?
• I'm looking for support for my teenage son to help him deal with his sister's cancer. Can you recommend any specific places?
• Last week I told my son that I had cancer and we have barely spoken about it since. What can I do to help support my son?

For Pancreatic Cancer

• I was diagnosed last fall with Stage 2 pancreatic cancer. The survival rates are not great, but I am quite hopeful. My 18-year-old daughter, however, has told me that she cannot be hopeful because she can't handle being let down if I die. While this makes sense to me, what can I do to help her?
