Hello JanW22,

Welcome to Cancer Chat although I’m sorry to hear you were diagnosed with ovarian cancer a month ago.

Try not to be too harsh on yourself though. It is very unlikely you became a 'cancer bore', your friends for what you write seem to be interested in seeing you and asking about your treatment so I wouldn’t be too worried.

And do feel free to post here as much as you want, we are here to listen and offer our support.

Best wishes,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi Jan

No your not being a bore.  If they are true friends , and believe me this is when you find out, they want to show that they are concerned and interested.

I always found that talking helped - whatever it takes to get through this is all thats important right now.

You could always make a joke - something like "I hope Im not boring you with this".

good luck.

Hi Jan,

Nice to have friends who care enough to ask and then listen :-) 

So many people post on here about the opposite happening, so-called friends who just disappear when times are hard.

If you ever feel that you are boring people, just tell them that you're fed up of talking about cancer and want to talk about something more fun. Sometimes we all need some time away from cancer and talking about cancer.

Cheers

Dave
