Hi everyone I'm 26 and was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, I've been very lucky with support from most people,

except from one person I considered a friend and want some advise,every time I discuss my treatment she rolls her eyes and hasn't once shown me any supportive last time she rolled her eyes and said I've got depression but you don't hear me going on about, I feel really hurt I've only recently opened up talking about it, and she still stands by what she said,

whsg are everyone's thoughts on this? Has anyone else had anything like this happen?

    Hi Chloel

    Totally agree with Kim you certain find who your real friends are.  Some cant cope and dont know how to deal with it but will still be there for you,  some are really supportive and some just dont want to know.

    I have family and friends(or were friends) who only know that I am alive by the fact that they havent been invited to my funeral other friends and what you would call casual aquantances have been so supportive in just sending a text, e-mail or a phone call for a chat. 

    Best advice treat others as they treat you and dont worry about this friend.
