Hi - just had to put my feelings down - they say when you get cancer to live like there is no tomorrow etc and make time for yourself and do things you have always wanted to do. Have any of us done this? I now I haven’t and am still running around for everyone else. I wish I had the courage to tell them where to go and do what I want to do. Sorry for that bit -just had to get it out.
At the beginning of my diagnosis I took my niece with me to the hospital as support- she is 14 years my junior and we have always been like sisters. Somewhere along the way that has gone and I feel her friends etc come first. My husband’s sister ring sometimes to see how I am and didn’t come near for months. My brother rings and in the middle of the conversation when he is moaning about life he may ask how I am. I have a friend who calls me her “best friend” but has not been there for me the last 6 months but I got told off for not being there for her when she had had an argument with hubby ! My own sister has been a tower of strength for me and has been there every step of the way.
I have 2 friends who didn’t contact me and when they did I didn’t text back or call them back and then I’m getting messages where are you I have been trying to contact you. I have been here since June !!!
Sorry for the rant.
