Hi Freddie,

 

My sister is going to come with me when I have chemo.  Hopefully after the first week I can go on my own.  I really don't like to bother people if I can help it.  She has her own family to take care of.

you are her family

Often at a time like this people really, really want to "bothered" - it makes them feel less helpless. At the same time they are often nervous about intruding or forcing their help on you, so they wait for you to ask..

Deb,

What the great she & mrgrizz said is so true - you are her family too

And very often at a time like this people really do not know what to do or say or how to act & they do feel helpless not knowing what to do for the best, so they wait for you to ask, which is why I said previously, don't be afraid to ask for help.  Crazy as this may sound, it is usually a very difficult emotional time for them also - not that I mean that to sound as though I am trying to detract in anyway from what you are experiencing, it's just sometimes in these situations people don't necessarily act the way we expect them to.

Don't under estimate the love and caring that surrounds you

And in case we don't catch up over the weekend, although we probably will, take care, remember to smile and the very best of luck with everything in Bendigo

  Thinking of you Deb

Thinking of you here too Deb
