Went to my local Friday, to met a dear friend.
I never felt so alone, sat on my own at the end of the bar with a arms length gap around me in a very packed local, of all neighbours, parents of my children's friends and people I've known for years.
one guy who knows me well just tapped me on my back and said I'm very brave, before I could comment he walked away . That happened twice.
I went home after a couple of hours with my Friend but felt totally alone and really down. Which has lasted all weekend.
cancer is not catching! I'm still the same Karen, which they talked to two month's ago.
what a difference 6 weeks and the big C makes socially in ones life.

We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
