Feeling so alone and angry. Mum supported my sister all through ivf...she's now pregnant first go. Mum and sister not bothered to remember or message me for any of my treatment over a year now. My Husband been amazing. I'm 31 and constant pregnancy announcements from friends. It's not really a baby I want per se it's that scans are shared and celebrated and cancer milestones aren't. It hurts and it's lonely. Just needed to tell the cancer community who 'get it'.
Hi Rosie Twigg and welcome to the community. Your story is not uncommon. Cancer can do two things. It can pull families together or cause emotional splits. Not because people don't care, but because people are afraid and don't know how to handle things, or know what to say. So they stick their heads in the sand and ignore things, hoping it will be ok. There will be many people here who understand, just the word cancer frightens people and we all handle things in our own way. Really good to know your husband is being very supportive. There are many different groups here for different cancers. if you let us know what you are being treated for, we can point you to the relevant group where you will get lots of support from others going through the same. Best wishes.
