[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think OP is being a drama queen. It happens to be that teenagers are dramatic, and breast cancer is dramatic. She's not under reacting.

She needs help[/quote]

OMG - I have a 15 year old and it is hellish without the cancer and no spouse to support.  Going through puberty during the pandemic really messed a lot of youth up beyond the normal teenage roller coaster ride.

OP I am so sorry. This must be so painful and stressful for you.

Your DS sounds terrified of losing you and angry about the uncertainty around your health condition.

There are facilities that specialize in teens who have mental health issues/ self harm/ substance abuse issues/ and/or eating disorders. They use DBT/ CBT individual and family therapy and are often covered by medical insurance.

Newport Academy has many locations around the US and three different levels of care 
Residential (but it can be hard to prove your child needs residential level of care to insurance companies)
Partial hospitalization (8:30-3:30)
Intensive outpatient (3:30-7)

There are others in the area.

The therapeutic boarding schools a PP mentioned are often not covered by insurance but worth exploring.

I am sorry for everything you are dealing with. I hope you and your son can secure good therapists who yiu connect with and that your friends or colleagues try and make life easier for you.

Wishing you love, light, healing and courage for the journey ahead. [/quote]
