Is ready to start kicking some friends to the kerb!!!!

hey Emma girl

since ive been diagnosed i have felt like im a leper (if thats how you spell it) to be honest never had a lot of friends who live beside me and always depended on my b/friend for company (hes gone now too two days ago) and when i worked i was happy with just the interaction with my fellow workers funny how the word cancer can act like you have the bloody plague or something

well ya know what anyone who lets me down hurts me or crosses the road when they see me because they dont know what to say can all go throw sh.. at the moon because ya know they aint worth a tear being spilled or a minute of your thoughts

yes we are better people than they ever will be so dont tx them or ring them let them be !!!

their loss babe the ones who stay are angels and deserve your friendship and will be with you for years to come when you can sit back and enjoy your life once again chin up and smile hun

loads of love jen xxxxx

Hi Emma,

Why dont you do just. If you can get them all in the one room. Right you lot you are now in my shoes HOW DO YOU FEEL. Then ask them one by one if they think you are a leper, then get them to hold your hands and give you a hug just see how many will say sorry Emma but I have the cold and I dont want to make you feel worse. Friends my Arse!!!!!!!

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

Thanx guys for all your comments, i have been kind of ignoring the whole situation with them and feeling sorry for them that they have so much to deal with!! how strange lol Im so glad i have my sister by my side who is my absolute rock, i never ask her to come round and help or keep me company she just turns up, like she knows that i need her here :-)

The so called friends can go kiss my arse now for all i care, lifes to short to be worrying about them when i have myself and the kids to think of aswell..... next on my agenda is to book a holiday to spain, im in need of some sun and cocktails :-)

Loe to you all xxxx

Hi Emma

I'm so sorry that your feeling so angry at the moment but you know what... your so called friends are not worth the brain space honey X I know that it makes you feel lonely but this is when you must focus on the future, you and your children. I often think that whilst I'm on the treatment it is like a time out on life, things do change for us when we are diagnosed and will probably never be the same once the treatment is finished. It's a great big learning curve. Some lessons being much harder than others. Most importantly though, I have learn't that this makes us much stronger people inside, so much so that we will be better people for it. I'd tell my friends if I were you that you know whats going on and that you do not thank them for their behaviour. They will either bolt or re-think how they have made you feel and hopefully sort their act out.

I hope you feel better for letting it out and please remember that you will always have good friends on this site who truely understand whatever you may be feeling X

Keep strong and keepsmiling eh X

Hi Emma and the others who shared the friend/family  experience! I thought it was just me when the contact with them started to tail off with some of them but others have been good. I eventually told my brothers and sisters that I would like to see them more but I couldn't drive to them and they got the message.

To be fair - it made me think about what I had done with friends and colleagues who had cancer and I'm afraid I probably wasn't much better because i didn't know what to do to help - so to all of them I owe an apology.

Keep going everyone.

Stephen
