None of my children have had cancer; I would suggest counseling with a male
counselor to help your son talk this through. I was sorry to hear about an
11 yr. old with cancer, it breaks your heart; but appraently he is doing
well other than not wanting to talk about it or hanging with other's in his
situation. There might be a chat line on cancer for teens, I would check
into that too. Good luck and my prayers are with you. Lillian
