Abstract
The diagnosis of cancer carries a large burden not only on the patient but on their family as well. In this study we specifically examine the effect of a diagnosis of breast cancer on patients' adolescent daughters and the mechanisms used in coping with this stress. We hope that the findings from this study will allow medical practitioners to understand and learn how to assist with the psychosocial and emotional needs of these adolescent daughters so that they may develop optimal coping mechanisms.
