How I really feel...

I hear what you are saying, it's hard isn't it ! And if you are like me, my treatment just seems to be going on & on & on....& people struggle to understand that I wil be receiving treat for years to come as I'm at high risk if recurrence 

I have become selective about who I socialise with as can't stand silly questions etc

Hopefully meeting up with colleagues won't be too bad 

Take care.

Best wishes x

I do understand where you are coming from but it is sometimes difficult for people to know what to say and sometimes they resort to saying the old “ I know someone …..”. I think everyone diagnosed with cancer struggles with this but short of hibernating there is not a lot to be done. I have only shared with close friends and family so didn’t have the problem of work colleagues as I am retired, that must be tricky. With family and friends I said right at the beginning that I would set up whats app group to keep everyone informed. If they wanted to be part of that fine, if not, no problem. That way I was in charge of what I told people. I think if you are brave enough just say at the outset when meeting friends, look Im ok and treatment going fine but I just want to enjoy this get together with no mention of cancer. A bit blunt but people will be grateful to know exactly how you feel. I hope you do manage to enjoy your get together as I think it will do you good to do something normal.
