Cancerland and an island

0 Recommendations

A couple of months ago someone wrote and said how friends and family have a way of disappearing during this time. I being the optimist that I am said that we all have a way of looking the other way when people are down. However... being in the 15th months with a husband of Stage IV NSCL it become really clear that no one wants to call because of the "bad news" they dare not get. It's funny the number of people that say "I don't know what to say" and the number of people who don't call because they don't know what to say. Don't know why I'm going on it just hurts that people become so far from us. So you try really hard not to be down but after a bad PET, CT it's really hard to get back on top. Is it human nature to only surround yourself with up people. If so all of us in "Cancerland" need to write more and find others that we can share with.
Thanks for listening...
