This thread is very helpful. And all the best to those awaiting results...I too can't be bothered socialising with people who aren't close friends/colleagues. I'm also tired of the 'how are you?' question. I've been honest with people and tell them I feel like s**t, am not doing well etc. Those who aren't close to me just stare, get embarrassed and change the conversation or move on. Oh well. One of my best friends who lives in a different state could only bring herself to text me a few times throughout this whole ordeal - no phone calls at all. She even didn't bother to ask me about my test results and whether the cancer had spread until a good 10 days after I got the results. Now I'm going through rads, have been for the past 3 weeks - not a peep from her. Looks like my new normal is spending more time with those who have shown they care, and letting her go...Thanks, hope I haven't hijacked this thread.
