Hi everyone,
I have been told by several people who have been diagnosed with cancer, that often friends react unexpectedly to their diagnosis. Some are very supportive, but others tend to run away or become very uncomunicative. I do say to people, dont be too hard on your friends. For when a close friend is diagnosed with cancer, it can be very difficult to figure out what to say, and a lot of people just dont know how to react, especially if the prognosis is not good.
I have heard it said, that it's times like this when we find out who our real friends are, and sometime they can be someone we really didnt expect to be there for us. At the end of the day the cancer patient needs all the love, help, and support that family and friends can provide, and it does help enormously in our fight against this evil disease. This just reinforces what I often say, cancer doesnt just affect the patient, it affects everyone who knows them too.
Take care everyone, Rainbow.
