The answer wasn’t clear

Keep posting cranky_granny and share the load. I’ve noticed how few people can sustain conversation with me about how I’m going- it’s lonely because everyone wants you to say you’re doing great and minimise the impact of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. So you end up doing that, and I have felt very alone in not being able to be simply affirmed by anyone close to me. I feel minimised by other people, who do not know and can’t listen. I’m a bit surprised by this reaction. It’s not asking too much for a close friend to listen.
So I wish you well and encourage you to vent here when you need to.
