First of all let me just say that I know how lucky I am to have friends and family who care however...
I’m over a year in with chemo every 2 weeks and all their texts still ask
“how are you feeling”
”how are the side effects this time”
”how are you”
”just checking in”
Etc
I’ve told them all before that I just want to be treated as I was before diagnosis. I’m not burying my head in the sand but also I’m sick of my life revolving around cancer. The constant asking how I am drives me mad.
The truth is I just want to forget about it, I’m having fun with my son then they text and it just slaps me in the face yet again.
im not even sure what I’m meant to reply? How is telling them that I feel sick or I’m constipated helping anyone? If anything was up, I needed help or ended up in hospital they would know about it.
It probably sounds really selfish but I don’t want some pity party and it’s bringing me down and also winding me up at the same time.
