Hi skippy I'm sorry but if they've stopped coming round then there not very friendly. Friends help each other in time of need. You must have someone you can talk to.. If not then talk to us, what is actually wrong with you. Remember everyone on these pages has a problem with illness mainly cancer. Write if you want to it's up to you.

I have stage 4 glioblastoma which has been treated with surgery they got 95% and chemo kept at bay for good 6 months but has become active again. I should count myself lucky because mainly i can go about my daily life problem free. Just feel like its all about to go downhill again. Thanks for replying

I imagine you don't want to lose your friends; it may be that they are frightened about the whole cancer thing and don't know how to handle it.  Not much of an excuse really but you could try explaining to them how much this means to you - and that you haven't changed into a different species but are still the same person you were before your illness and with the same interests.  Don't give them a hard time but ask them to keep in touch.  Do keep in touch and let us know how things go for you.  Annie

Hi there, Annie is right, when my husband was diagnosed we never heard from anyone until I let them know that he felt neglected.  It turned out that they didn't know what to say, or if he wanted company, so let them know how you feel, honesty is the best policy, maybe choose your best friend to confide in then she can update the others then you aren't constantly repeating the same thing, it gets very boring!  People have busy lives so don't feel that you don't matter, you do, they just need to be aware that you still need them.  Good luck, Carol

Yes I think they are scared to bring it up or not sure how to bring it up. Like I said I thought I was coping fine by myself, but I wasn't. I've felt like it was a burden to share with others, but turns out they were worried anyway and it's better they know exactly whats happening. Thanks
