Lillian you are experiencing exactly what all of us have. Ive lost lots of friends the past 6yrs through 2 diagnosis. What i learnt was they do not know what to say and have no clue how to help and some dont want to know about it. I got little support when i give others so much, i found being the strong one they forget you!! But new people will surprise you the ones you least expected youll see!! Its such an irony but so common. Know we are here and we get it!! Youre not alone hugs Melinda xo
