My Mom Has Breast Cancer: A Guide for Families is an informational program produced by KIDSCOPE featuring interviews with seven children and four mothers who have experienced breast cancer treatment firsthand. In the interviews, the children, who have successfully weathered this experience, describe their reactions and feelings, particularly the fear of the loss of their mother at the time of diagnosis. The children also describe their difficulties learning to cope with a significantly altered family life. In spite of the intense emotions displayed and the upsetting experiences described, the children and mothers maintain an optimistic view of life. This is illustrated by a variety of coping strategies, including humor.
