Hi San-dee
its very difficult when you are first diagnosed and you have no idea of what to expect and what treatments may be required etc. People say the stupidest things because they really don't know what else to say. They think they are being supportive. Unfortunately, that will continue on throughout your journey. We have often written about the things you shouldn't say to a cancer patient.
You are self absorbed because you are scared and fearful and that is completely understandable. Cancer is frightening. The treatments are frightening. We all understand that. Regardless of how "bad" your diagnosis is, it is confronting and you are going to have to focus on you and getting well again. You will feel calmer and a little more in control once you know what it is exactly that you are dealing with and what your treatment plan is going to be. Take one day at a time. Hang in there.
