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...
As usual you are so good at identifying the crunch of an issue for me. I can kind of understand the lack of contact during Chemo etc but it was the lack of support for what I tried to do to say 'hey I'm well again and want to do something to help find a cure or this awful disease' that really hurt. I guess they just missed that point entirely but it tainted what should have been a big step in my recovery from BC.
But I cannot let it keep causing tension for my parents, my hubby, daughters and myself, so I've had my vent now. I know that I am not alone with this and it seems there is no magic wand to fix these things. I cannot change their behavior or understanding so I will just accept that this happened and concentrate on other aspects of Christmas. I do have a lot to be happy about. Hope you have a terrific Christmas with your family, Paula. Take care. Deanne xxx
