Abstract
Little research has examined children's perceptions of what it was like when their mother was diagnosed and treated with chemotherapy for breast cancer. This research aimed to describe the children's perspectives and to suggest interventions to assist children to manage the experience with less stress. Qualitative naturalistic inquiry methods were used. Purposive sampling was used to recruit children whose mothers had chemotherapy for breast cancer in the prior two years. Eleven children were interviewed individually or with siblings. Children were between seven to 21 years of age. The major theme that emerged was Shielding and Being Shielded. Shielding refers to how children protected themselves from their thoughts and feelings and protected themselves from others. Being Shielded refers to what others did to protect the children. Shielding and Being Shielded each had components reflective of knowing/understanding, acknowledging/feeling, sharing, and shifting/helping. Recommendations directed towards assisting children, parents, and nurses and other health care professionals are suggested.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
