Hi Magagie
I'm also devoting more time to myself.. not ready to see or talk to a few people. I've become more selective and I'm focusing more on being in a good place emotionally and mentally.
Good to hear that you finished your treatment a few months ago and that your new project is keeping you occupied without being stressful.
I still have a final round of chemo in two weeks time, so hopefully, I can get a bit of a break after that.
Look forward to some normality.
All the best to you too

Hi Magagie
Thank you for your kind words.. it's comforting to hear that you also felt the need to distance yourself from people in order to deal with your feelings.
One positive thing I'm taking about the experience is that I've learnt to say 'no' to people when I don't feel like socialising and to put myself first without feeling guilty about it.
How are you personally doing? are you still having treatment?

Hi there
I'd like to know more about the emotions cancer sufferers have gone through in relation to their friends and relatives.
I'm personally a private person and I've only told a handful of friends that I have NH lymphoma.. I thought that after the first treatment I would be having a 2-year break, but unfortunately, I'm back on chemotherapy after only a few months.
I feel overwhelmed when people start asking me or want to talk to me to see how I'm doing. It's actually a mixture or being overwhelmed and frustrated that my life is on hold while everyone else's carries on.
I don't want people to think that i'm ungrateful, but I just want to go through this as privately as i can without being 'too exposed to the outside world'
