@Flaneuse Ignorance and thoughtlessness are not a good combination, even when it comes from a good place. They could possibly be excused for not understanding about chemo but leaving you with the washing up is poor form indeed. It's nice that they prioritised seeing you but the lesson here is that you have to put yourself first. And that you have to spell it out.
"I'm sorry but having months of poison being pumped into my veins has left me very unwell and I'm just not up to visitors right now. I'll probably be feeling better in a few weeks and would love to see you then."
As for the sensitivity, well I seem to have that too! I'm hoping it will lessen over time because it's inconvenient being so fragile... Hang in there Fran. Big hug, K xox
