Well said! Everyone copes differently!
I've said previously I lost a friend of 40 years over this. I knew who she was and accepted her warts and all. Very much look at me personality and I would spend countless hours pulling her out of the doldrums and making her laugh.
When I was diagnosed it became intense as she wasn't happy with my choice of breast surgeon. I said to her he's made me feel comfortable and confident and I trust him but no she wasn't happy. Mind you she has never met him and has never had BC. I said what do you want me to do go through the yellow pages!! She visited once in hospital and complained about my room so we went to the cafe to keep the peace!
This was one time it wasn't all about her and she couldn't cope. Haven't seen her for near on 3 years and I have to say I don't miss her as the fact that the friendship was very much one way became obvious. She did visit at home once when I was discharged. We live at altitude and she said who would live here as it was an October low cloud day with the wood fire going and not a shopping centre in sight. We've lived here for years and she's visited but never did I know that was her attitude. Breast cancer sorts out all sorts for us!
Sad initially but content she's in the past.
Take care
