How do you all cope with seeing the same face every single time you say the word cancer? Also how do you all deal with people treating you as if you're made of glass? I know it's love. I want to know how to deal with it without getting upset.
What you describe is, I'm sure, something that many others here will be able to relate to. As you mention, it is only people's attempts to show that they care - they often won't know how else to be or act, but I understand it is difficult.
This is where speaking to others who may be less close to you but may have more similar experience can help. This could include at local support groups (for example those provided by Maggie's), as well as appropriate online groups such as this forum.
I hope that you find this forum to be a supportive and safe space for you to write things down and to reach out to others. Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post here soon. You can also browse or search the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) to find other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you'd like to.
We are always here for support whenever you may need it. Wishing you all the best,
