@unapologeticallyafter: The beginning of cancer gets attention. The middle and aftermath can get lonely. Be the friend who keeps showing up — not just at diagnosis, but months later too.   #cancersupport #friendshipmatters #cancerpatient #cancersurvivor #lifeaftercancer #cancerreality #survivorship #HealingJourney

So true right in the middle of treatment and boy have i found out who are true friends

Florida born•Appalachian Roots :

Nope not for me. I’m 2 1/2 years out and I still don’t know where they went. Only 3 people showed up

user9788540874931 :

I was ghosted by my group of close girlfriends. It’s been 4 years since my diagnosis. I have forgiven 3 of them for ghosting, but I can’t seem to forgive my ‘best friend’ for ghosting. It hurts every single day. She has moved on and I feel lost and lonely dealing with the after cancer, hormone blockers, fear of reoccurrence, new symptoms. I have other friends I lean on, but her- I can’t seem to let it go. I am so damn hurt.

Michellehelmigh :

Only one who does is my mom.

whatkatiedid :

I just got diagnosed for lung cancer with no support. I live alone with the only thing I’ve heard from the three people who did contact me. Those will pray for you and one was my brother.

This is so true

mlr :

True. I've learned from the support that I've received - to give it in return. And to continue to give it. Go to the appointments. Offer a meal. Give a gift.

I could not agree more 🥹 thanks for articulating this so beautifully. All I really wanted was company so it wasn’t so scary. Life moves SO slowly when you’re feeling so dreadful. Consistency is EVERYTHING ❤️hope you’re doing ok
