Hi Lop
I have only lost one friendship since being diagnosed and I think
this person just got "tired of me". Some of my other friendships
have changed but the friends are still there for me.

I think this might be a reflection of our society's attitude to illness
in general. People have a very difficult time dealing with the "randomness"
of cancer. Deep down they want to think that we did something that
caused our cancer, and if they don't do what we did, they won't get it.

Just my opinion, but I think we are a big reminder that this can happen
to anyone.
