A Teenager's Guide to Your Parent's Breast Cancer Diagnosis

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in my sophomore year of high school. It put a lot of strain on my family and I, and I wanted to write a guidebook that could help other teenagers to navigate their parent's diagnosis and treatment and not have to rely on the vast and confusing sources often found on the internet. Included in this book are sections such as "How You May Be Feeling," that walk the reader through common emotions experienced throughout a parent's breast cancer journey, "How You Can Help," giving readers a list of ways they can support their parent throughout their experience, as well as the inclusion of simplified terms and information about breast cancer, diagnosis, and processes their parent might go through. This book is an Eagle Scout Project created by Kaya Hoffman of Scouts BSA Troop 555. A free link to access the book as a pdf is included here: https://bit.ly/teenagersguidetobreastcancer
