Losing friends because of Cancer

As a previous reply stated it unfortunately happens during every “change” in your life. When I first told people of my diagnosis people who hadn’t been around for a while  suddenly wanted to know me again with promises of visits etc but surprise surprise it never happened. It’s often the people who you don’t think of as particularly close who often end up being those who show the most care and the right type of care. 
I have also found 2 new friends from this forum who live locally.
