Thank you all for your beautiful responses. I have known many who are cancer survivors which is a comfort to me. The thing I am now realising is what it is really like to have this diagnosis yourself. As someone on the outside looking in, I had no idea of the feelings we go through, or what we may want to hear from others, what support we want. I guess I will now learn all of that. My support person at the breast clinic had lung cancer, she is now clear, she handled her diagnosis very differently in that she told nobody but her family. I am choosing to let colleagues know also as work is a very large part of my life, and I plan to continue for as long as I can during treatment.
I am grateful to now have this safe place, and thank you again for your replies, it means the world to me <3
Going out today for my 'every sunday' brunch with an ex neighbour who is in shock from my news - I think it's just as hard for family and friends, just in a different capacity.
