Lillian67 I seem to have the same problem. In the year of my cancer I have spoken to my sister inlaw once. My mother in law twice.. My husband communicates with his family. The could ask to speak with me.The one phone call I had with my sister in law she said she thought about me everyday???!!!!not a card flowers present a call big zero.
There has not been a family drama or major problem. I am praised by my sister in law and mother in law for the help and assistance I have given them in the past. I did get a birthday card recently April is my birthday month and also last year when I found my cancer.Nothing before then.
My inlaws live an hour and a half from melbourne,havent visited. It hurts. My husband needs support too.
