This is my second diagnosis and feel more alone than the last one. It’s like everyone around me just thinks because I got through it once they don’t need to bother with me. I never had any support the first time either, I had my mum but now I don’t have the need for childcare she’s the same as my sibling with me. I told my brothers and sisters a week ago last Tuesday only to get the usual reply - sorry you’re going through this again let me know if you need anything got a phone you tomorrow from my sister in law and I’m still waiting. I’ve text 2 of them within that time with non cancer or me related messages and been blanked. Not one of them have asked what my treatment plan is or how I’m feeling. They probably just have stuff going on in their own lives
