I’m doing fine, my friends are a basket case

Tigger51

I’ve had my 7 of 20 radiation treatments and finally starting to relax and now my friends concerns are stressing me out. They are doing research on my behalf or so they say and our coffee dates focus on the one thing I want to forget, Cancer. I’ve tried to be nice about it, telling them my doctor has it under control.

I’ve thought about dropping coffee dates but I don’t want to let cancer interrupt something else in my life. I don’t understand how my good friends can be so insensitive.

Any suggestions

One of my very best friends took my cancer diagnosis and later the mets much harder than I did. A few times I did want to just shake her, but she has been dedicated to our friendship every single day. Not like many that you read about on here that lose their friends,

. Maybe you could ask them to email you the info so that you can give it lots of attention, but during coffee you want to hear about their lives! I often say...enough about me, what’s going on in your life

Well meaning I know, but it is tough. You just want to move on and enjoy. I hate the looks I get sometimes from friends. I would just stress to them, that you appreciate their concern, you are doing well, and if anything changes you will certainly let them know, but meanwhile you just want an everyday conversation over coffee just like you all had prior to your diagnosis. i'm sure you said all that several times, but you could always add, please, I've said how much i appreciate how you all research and want to help, but I am doing well, am keeping up with my DR's on the latest research and just want to spend my time with you all laughing and talking about uplifting things going on in our lives and stupid things that makes us laugh, love you all.
