I found it easy to tell the world, I have come from always being way too open and honest for my own good.  I was a hairdresser for 20 years, so have always found it easy to be good at conversation.  Not every one is, and some people pick and chose who they tell.  I even told the check out chick at the supermarket.  

If you ask anyone who has been through a major event or crisis in their life if it changed them, I bet most would say yes.  I became more compassionate about disabled people when my sister in law became brain injured at 35 in a cycling accident.  I also wasnt as care free as I got older as each experience came along.  

I feel that I have changed, I am reluctant to communicate with people who are superficial, or focused on  unimportant matters now.  I prefer spending time with other women who have experienced Cancer and understand what we have endured.  It is still early for me, Im in my 9th month, and havent returned to work as yet.  In time, I will change again no doubt.

Good luck - x Bel
