thanks for replying dan 🙂 yeah im trying to put more effort into the friends that actully do care.. i just cant help but feel hurt at the ones that havent bothered much with me.. i sometimes as bad as it sounds want them to feel what ive felt.. go through what ive been through so they understand.. it must be so hard as the patient and not hear from your friends 😞 dont worry im sure there are lots of people that care about you! ive learnt that the ones that dont care much right now, will regret it later.. sometimes people are so wrapped up in their own lives they think something cant possibly go wrong.. unfourtunatly lifes not all fun and games and i believe at some point something bad happens to someone.. i think you have to go through some bad experience in life in order to become the person you are today :) xo ...

hi dean im so sorry for your loss.. i cant imagine how hard it must be.. i care for my boyfriend he has bowel cancer and im struggling.. i dont really have a great support network as half of my 'friends' dont even speak to me anymore.. the other day i broke down in tears in front of my parter about how everyone always asks how is but nobody seems to ask me how i am... being somebodys carer is hard work.. our relationship has changed in the sense that i now deal with a lot more crap then ive had to.. he might snap or be moody but i know i just have to try and not take it to heart.. it'l probably take you a while to be able to do things normally again.. one month isnt that long.. best of luck 🙂 keep being strong! xo ...

its so hard to watch the person you life struggling for their life.. my boyfriend of one year and 5 months has cancer and i'l never forget the night he told me.. i knew something had been up for months i think he did to but until he got tested we just thought it was from lousy diet etc... that horrible night my walls came crashing down, i felt like there wasnt enough space to contain my pain... 6 months on and things have gotten A LOT easier! we are going down the right road so i guess that has helped.. but so many struggles on the way.. loss of friendships.. depression.. feeling crap! i to would swap places with him, but im not in his place and i guess i should be grateful.. i know that i feel better by sticking with him and dealing with this the best i can.. just being there is the best thing you can do.. i often massage my boyfriend, he has bad side effects still from chemo, i clean up for him do little things that help him 🙂 we still live life to the fullest he still likes to go out and party when he can.. i just wish this stupid cancer would be gone, and i just want him to be in remission but i know its not going to happen over night, and we still have a lot to get through.. be strong! at the start i felt like shouldnt cry in front of him or act upset.. everyone kept telling me to 'not cry' but he actually doesnt mind.. if i need to cry i do.. best of luck with your mum, keep up the good work! xo ...

i sometimes feel like that.. but not just on here in general 😞 i guess people will respond if they want to.. sometimes maybe ppl dont know the answer? i think as long as someone does reply it will make you feel better 🙂 ... View more

im so sorry to hear about that! 😞 what kind of cancer do u have? can they operate? have you been having chemo/radiotherapy? one day at a time is the best thing you can do.. focus on everything that makes you happy and cut out the rest.. if lance armstrong can overcome cancer in brains and bones, i believe its possible for anyone to.. "give up or fight like hell" :) i dont knw much about cameras but yours sounds really good! i know cannons are supposed to be good.. take lots of photos and enjoy your little break... treat yourself and take a breath of fresh hair.. light a few candles and really take the time to heal best of luck maddie xo ...
