Hi Theresa
Hope you continue to feel better. I know what you mean about friends. Shows who is a really friend eh when you have something wrong with you.
I'm in the same boat but with mum being ill. I've found out who my real friends are.
All best wishes for good health in 2009, and hope you feel a lot better soon.
I am so glad you have someone adult who will support you. I expect it is mutual for her too,
I don't discount any of my friends though. I don't expect them to give more than they have. None of mine ran away, but then I didn't have many to start with, and if anything I have more now than I had before.
I went to a school reunion, and most of the people there had either had cancer themselves, had lost relatives from cancer and/or knew people who had had cancer. None of them were afraid of the word, and I have renewed friendships with women I was only neutral about before.
