@christine_m,
You’ll find who your true friends are during this journey. Interestingly, some of my close friends have disappeared but acquaintances have become my good friends, bringing me food and asking what else they can do for me. So you are not alone in discovering this.
My hubby is an excellent support but he doesn’t get what I am going through, he has been cooking, housework etc. He wants me to see the light but not the tunnel which is challenging for me as I am going through chemo currently ( with side effects). I have been trying to get him to understand (I have a fabulous GP who has been guiding me on how to communicate with him so the idea of a counsellor like what the ladies have suggested may be a good idea)

I highly recommend listening to Dr Liz O’Riordan on Spotify - how to cope psychologically with a breast cancer diagnosis with Professor Dame Lesley Fallowfield. I happened to just finished listening her podcast this afternoon.
