Perhaps, as she is a teenager who has trouble making sense of her own feelings and as she may not want to "stick out", you are just what she needs. Someone who is there for her, whom she can talk to if she wishes or just pend time with. Someone who knows, but won't talk about her situation to others, so she can compartmentalize those feelings and leave them behind when she goes to school.

You probably don't have to do or say anything to help her, just be there.

I live in the Netherlands, so things may be different in your neck of the woods, but we have group sessions for kids who have a relative who is dealing with cancer. That might be an additional resource. But don't think for one minute that you are not doing enough. Some things just take time and can't be fixed with the right words.
