1) Are the people who stop coming around because they think that they are going to catch it off you. (2) Are those that want to know when the funeral is going to be. These ones do not seem to realise that there are treatments (even though its a post code lottery, and if your area's NHS is not willing to pay for the drugs you either die or go private) and with help you can fight the illness. (3) Those who keep away because they do not know what to say. (4) Your family, real friends, and other members of the public who don't treat you as if you have the plague, and that they can touch you and your not going to break.

And I've met them all Mike. When I was epileptic I can recall snapping at one 'friend', 'it's not contagious you know!'
When I informed another chap that I had cancer he said, 'oh! How long have you got?' (Made my day that one!)
The third group I can sympathize with, and the fourth group buoy you up.

Yep me too Roy. The worse point in all the relapses I have had was when I was in a hairdressers, and due to the treatment my hair was falling out, and so I asked them to cut it really short. Just after the hairdresser had started, the manageress called her over and whispered "Hurry up and get him out of here, he looks really ill and thats bad for business"
What she did not know was that my wife was standing over by the coffee pot and heard every word she said. She did not want to embarrass me so she grabbed her by the arm and walked her into the backroom and gave her what for.
Alright I looked like death warmed up, but how anyone would relate that to the hairdressers I do not know.

Like you I feel sorry for those that do not know what to say

Cheers

I was lucky Mike, I missed the hair loss bit, thank God. Lord knows what I'd look like bald!

That's good. Although its very thin some of mine has grown back, and as long as I keep it short it is not too bad.

Anyway sorry for stealing your thread Tom, I will let you get back on topic

Cheers

My friend lost her hair and promptly bought the most outrageous bright red wig which was virtually a statement to everyone "look at me, I've got cancer and I'm still here".

She thought it was a hoot and so do I.. :lol:

The guy I feel for is her father who is 94, a war hero pilot and has seen his wife and granddaughter die and now watching his beloved daughter slowly getting worse - how bad is that?

Bloody awful! No parent should out live their children.
