Friends ..
I too, was up and Sparkle during treatment .. must be a survival mode thing, only though of me and my body. 6 months post treatment, surrounding esp friends appear in my thought.... WHERE the F... are they or should I say WHERE the F... were they when I went through treatment. I got a big bunch of flowers when I give birth to my son even from oversea. I did not get a "how r you?" msg even via email/sms when I got sick. Cancer must be contigeous for some people, we happen to mirror the fear of mortality to these "dead leaves" ;), 3 year post treatment - have less friends, my friends that will be for life through illess & happiness. not just good times. Your feelings are normal, and google it ... you will be surprise.
Remembering my mentor said, "after CANCER treatment you will have less friends", very true for me. it is like after cancer, all the dead leave falls off my "friendship" tree, because I conciousely shake them off, and real one grows stronger, with new shoots springing ;) trying to be peotic - got the drift.
Having said that, it is not a bad idea to let these friends know your need in your relationship with them, and how it makes you feel. Then see where it will take you and how you heart feels.
