My best friend recently got diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. My parents have just separated and I would have already told her this but I'm not sure if it’s appropriate to be talking about my problems when she’s going through a lot. Do you have any advice…should I tell her after treatment is over?
Hi Jane s
Sorry to hear about your friend but also sorry to hear about your parents.
Perhaps only you can answer your question but I do know that a number of people with cancer do not let others know on the basis of not being treated differently. Perhaps it might be worth thinking how they might feel when they find out or perhaps even more if they found out through someone else.
Have you got any other support around you? People often find it tricky to talk to other people when we may have not worked out our own emotions.
<<hugs>>
