I asked my husband the other night why he didn't expect close support from his friends when he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and he replied "Because friends are for fun.". I on the other hand returned to drying my eyes from being upset and disappointed in a friend for not being around me during treatment.
My husband then said that he only expected close support from family in times like this. Sure he talks to his friends but he doesn't expect them to call him every week to see how he/we are going.
Thank you for making me aware of 'For the boys'. I will tell my husband and he will probably shrug also, but during my journey through all this, i am finding that you never know what can happen and test you and those around you.
Linda.
