need advice for a teenager

I work at our local high school in the cafeteria and last May one of our teachers asked me to talk to a 14 year old girl whose mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer. Her mom had to have chemo first and then had a masectomy in November and is now doing radiation. I've talked to this girl since then. She's done good till now, but is now having problems dealing with all of it, especially the masectomy. Since I only had a lumpectomy and don't really know exactly what she's going through I'm not sure what to say to her. Does anyone have any advice I can try? I'd really like to be able to help this girl.
