Hey san-dee
You will find that lots of people dont know what to say. I had friends stay away all together and others talk to me like i was on my deathbed. Truth is no one knows how you feel unless they have been through it themselves. I have a significant family history my mum was diagnosed when i was a kid. Growing up i remember how negative and anxious she was all the time. She ended up with depression and this was in the day when they used to tell you to go out and mix with people. It left quite an impact on me growing up so after that initial shock of my diagnosis i have done nothing but think positive. I see no point in putting energy into worrying and negativity as it achieves nothing. I put all my energy into getting better. The impact on my daughter as a result was minimal as to her i was same old mum..yes grumpy and feeling like crap sometimes but picking myself up and getting on with it.
Take it one step at a time and you will get through treatment.
Take care.????
