@youngdogmun, as AlkyJay says. This sorts the Chaff out When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Better to know now who you don't need in your life. New people will come into your life. A friends mother in law is not getting the support she hoped for from her son and his wife despite being terminal. She messages me her thoughts and all the things her family should be helping with. I'm a long way from her but if she was closer I could be such a help to her She did say I was a godsend to her, which I thought was very sweet of her. If my communication and the occasional inspiration pics I send her are a comfort, then I'm happy. When I went through chemo my husband left home at 3.30am and got back at 8.45pm. I had no one near enough to ever help me so had to just get on with it. It makes you stronger and independent. I think if I'd of had lots of help it would have prolonged the sense of being ill Although I never felt ill in general I was only ever ill from the side effects.. Your therapy centre, and if you have a breast care nurse will be able to tell you of any available help if you need it. Nows the time to look forward with positivity and not linger over the negatives. There are many instances in life where we find out who are true friends are, but like my wardrobe, they all need a clean out now and then. Wishing you a successful recovery .
