(1,112 posts)The first time I had breast cancer, I relied on a book entitled "Just get me through this" and the second time I had bc, I relied on a book, "What the fuck just happened?" So, different advice helps at different times. Whatever works for you is ok. If you need support, keep asking until your needs are met. Some people will seem non-responsive; they might not have the bandwidth. My sister only called once during the first bout; I found out years later she was afraid her tears would discourage me. My brother never called, but I found out years later he wears a pink ribbon tee shirt on Fridays for me. So, some people can provide rides or meals or company; some, like my siblings, are sending 'good vibes.' Well, I am so sorry you are going thru this. You take care now.
