Why does no one want to talk about my cancer diagnosis?

People often struggle to discuss cancer because they don't know what to say or worry about saying the wrong thing, which can leave you feeling isolated when you most need support. This community understands that talking through your feelings and experiences is an important part of coping, so please know that sharing here is always welcome and you're among people who truly get what you're going through.

My husband didn't want to talk about it at first, because he was afraid to say the wrong thing

It is hard. There's big emotions that goes with being diagnosed and getting through treatment. One friend, when I try to talk about big scary emotions, tells me that I don't have enough faith. The others just walk away or change the subject. I find that if I just scream and cry, I do find a relief.

I cried today on the phone to my Dr's office. They sent the police and and ambulance to my house because they thought i was going to harm myself

Suicide is a large concern with the medical community. Stay positive. Live to love, live to live. Emotions are great to express and get out. Feel free to vent as it is healthy.
