its been 6 months now since my bf has been told he has cancer, and one thing ive noticed is how many friends dont talk to me anymore.. one of my 'close' friends has 'barred' me (stoped talking) to me over something sooo stupid its not even worth typing.. ud think your friends would be here for you in a time of need but their not? it makes me so angry and i feel sad because id be there for them if this happend.. my friends all go out to nightclubs all have fun and never invite me anywhere.. its so hard :(i just wish that for one day they knew exactly how i felt..

Hi Maddie, Its a tough part of the situation. People dont know what to do I guess and so they throw up the barriers. Doesnt excuse them, but it seem to happen alot. Concentrate on the friends that do help and stick around. Have you had some counselling yourself or got someone to talk to, as well as for your bf. Keep your chin up and Merry Christmas to your family. Cheer Vicki
