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?

    Thank you so much everyone for writing back it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who has been shocked and surprised by people reactions to this, 

    I think the thing I've found most difficult in this is the relisation that people really don't understand I always assumed that by now everyone was very aware of how hard cancer was but people get bored after a while everyone is mega supportive to start of with and then the liberty wears of and that's only the start of your journey, I don't think I'm asking for a lot just simply asking to be treated as I would treat other people I really appreciate all the support on here thank you so much everyone
