Hello Chloe  I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis but have, what I hope, is an uplifting tale to tell you.

I couldn't agree more with the comments of Kim and River.  When I was first diagnosed with endometrial cancer, like everyone else my world just fell apart.  I live alone and my cousin was "so concerned" about me that she said she would come over to "look after" me. I had surgery, cheomo- and radio-therapy last year and I'm still waiting for her to arrive.  I had a text from her back in May saying that she hoped I was all right!  What I'm trying to say is try not to depend on people who aren't "there" for you.  It's an awful time you're going through as we all know on the forum but, although you don't think so now, you will get through it. Now the uplifting bit. I was on holiday recently (I have to get that in when I can, ha ha) and met a lovely lady who was 86 years old.  She was such an interesting person who had had many adventures in her life not least that she and her husband were taking a cruise to celebrate the fact that she was recovering from colorectal cancer, at that age! 

So my advice would be to try to avoid this person as much as possible.  If you do bump into her, just keep it casual.  You have plenty of other people who are supportive - us on here for example - and, as Kim said, you need all your strength to fight this, not to worry about someone who isn't worth it.

Sorry to have gone on a bit but I hope you work things out.
