When your battering cancer you always think about like how good everything is and like for relationships you probably wonder why your person doesn't pay attention with you because like if you are working and someone interrupted you would you feel really sad or like rusted it frustrated I meant okay so I was just here talking about cancer and relationships bye

Cancer can definitely put strain on relationships when loved ones seem distracted or less available during such an important time. It's completely natural to want extra attention and support from the people closest to you, and feeling overlooked can be really tough when you're already dealing with so much.

Hey Candace, this is a safe and non-judgmental place to talk about cancer and relationships. Please feel free to let it out. If you don't have another outlet, you need some place to unload. Don't keep all of that stuff bottled up. It will inevitably explode at the worst time!!! Someone in this forum will be able to help you. Mental health counseling is another safe non-judgmental place where you can feel free to express yourself and get some great tactics to help you deal with any issues you might be experiencing. Best to you, Garey
