insensitive responses
Hi all
I am not sure if I am being overly critical of others due to my own heightened emotional state, but I have had some poor responses from other people when I have spoken to them recently since...
Hi Narelle
I am shocked at the GPs & Beyond Blues response. Hopefully your friends & family come around and support you. I decided to only tell people when I was going to catch up with them so they were not shocked by my appearance (I started treatment with chemo), and I did this by text message. This gave them a chance to 'deal with it/come to terms with it' and hopefully be as normal as possible around me. I didn't have the emotional strength to deal with their issues with my diagnosis. Good luck, and thinking of you, Kirsty
