Invasive ductal carcinoma - friends and family seem to be distancing themselves from me. It's breaking my heart.

Hi my name is Tina

I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma on 31st March

I had my surgery on April 22nd 2026 I had to have sentinel node removed as well so 2 scars, I'm finding that most people including some family have distanced themselves I'm heartbroken, has this happened to any one else?

I’m sorry to hear that. Please give the helpline a call on 0808 800 4040 to talk to a nurse. Welcome to the forums and hello there. Carers UK offer an online activity programme, you can find all of the information on their website. It is called share and learn.

I think you need to find a support group.
