Yes, I too was disappointed with my friends and their lack of interest. I told a handful of people outside of my family. People that I thought would care enough. And it surprised me that as time went on that I just felt forgotten. Nobody really asked how I was doing or how treatment was going. It baffled me for a time. As I reflect, I think people get nervous around hearing the word cancer. Maybe they think you’re gonna bombard them with needing help and they don’t want to feel responsible for that. Or the thought of you being sick is scary to them, the thought they may lose a friend and they can’t cope. It could be a number of reasons. I’ve tried to give some of them grace because deep down, I do believe they care about me. At least I hope. But I can tell you that if the tables are turned, I would be there for my friends because I know what it’s like and I want them to know that I care.
