What are people's experiences of friends, family after cancer? I've never had a huge circle of friends but when I told the few that I thought cared and would be there not one of them visited, messaged or even bothered to offer support. As for family, only a handful bothered and that hurts. My confidence following cancer has taken a hit and although I want to move forward with my life I feel stuck in a rut and see no way out. I'm single and can't see myself ever being in a relationship and happy and this gets me down. Despite feeling like this I try to remain positive and think things will turn but feel lost and struggling at the moment. Has anyone experienced this and if so I would much appreciate some advice on how you moved forward.
Hi Carlos80
That's great that you've finished your treatment and want to move forward with your life but I'm sorry to read that you've been let down by your family and friends.
There is a group on the community called life after cancer which you might like to join. It's aimed at people who have finished treatment and is a space to discuss things like the physical and emotional after effects of cancer, returning to work, or trying to move on with your life.
If you'd like to join the group, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.
