Why don’t my friends come to visit since I have been diagnosed.They look at me like they are afraid of catching it off me.

Hi Birdnest,
When I was first diagnosed someone on here said “now you’ll find out who your real friends are!” That was very true. Some of them were fair weather friends only interested in having fun nights out, others were stunned for a while then were amazingly supportive. Some people I hardly knew before turned out to be true friends.
Thaat said, it’s early days, some of them might be waiting to be invited around because they don’t want to intrude - there’s no real etiquette around this especially if your the first of your peer group to have a life-threatening condition.
Good luck!
Dave
