Ha, you don't have to get cancer to realise some of the people you know are shallow and self centred, but it sure brings them all into focus at once.
Your disease hasn't changed who you are, and it hasn't changed them either. You've got a fair idea what is coming next, its up to you to decide what you are going to do.
The upside of cancer, particularly when people have no idea what is actually happening, is that you can infer all sorts of difficulties which make you unavailable when you don't want to do something.
Yeah, that's naughty, but hey, you don't have to actually lie:) xxx
