Feeling sad
I am very aware that I have lots to be grateful for this year feeling so well again but BC takes a toll on us in many ways. I guess Christmas is often a time when people feel the positive and negative...

Hello Deanne
I appreciated reading all the great advice offered toyou today. Christmas so often can be a yucky time ... society has tainted it with certain expectations! And yes it is funny who has supported me and who hasn't.
My brother hasn't ignored me, but he just acts as if nothing has happened. I see him just as many times as I used too. I thought it was partly cause of fear that it could happen to his family, and that they lack understanding. My best friends husband was diognosed with prostrate cancer 7 months before I was diognosed with bc, and I thought I had been supporting them. But it wasn't till I was diognosed that I realised exactly what they are going through, how it was me saying keep positive (Gaaaa) and ëverything will be fine etc and then changing the subject. Now I can ring and celebrate each milestone, whinge about any hiccups and actually talk to them.
