Chelee, I have a few friends, no spouse or roommate, no family. My friends gave me lots of good support while I was on chemo. I appreciate this board, it is helpful. I did not go to any support groups etc. I am however, now, getting involved with ACS.

As far as people who dropped out of sight, I was dating a guy, and he came to the hospital for my first two surgeries. The third surgery he showed up unexpected in the waiting room prior to surgery and did not recognize me since I had no hair (I had shaved it very short in preparation for chemo). We visited before I went in to surgery and I never heard from him again. He did not contact me at all after that. Guess he could not handle it.

I am thankful for my friends. I could not have gotten through it all without them.
