Am I being ghosted or am I over sensitive

That definitely stinks when that happens. Unfortunately ghosting happens a lot with scenarios like this. I feel like 4-5 months is a long time. I don't think you're being overly sensitive. However, perhaps your loved ones didn't know what to say, maybe they felt they would make you feel upset so didn't say anything. Healthy people don't always understand that silence can be more hurtful. Maybe reach out again and explain how you're feeling? I think that the fact they're wanting to catch up is a good sign though. I hope you can talk it out and feel better about the situation. Warm wishes, Katelynn (Team member)

You need to do what is best for yourself re: reconnecting at Christmas. Unfortunately, it seems to be pretty common when people distance themselves from you after a diagnosis. It happened to me with people I'd known 40 plus years. The up side is that sometimes unexpected people step up to the plate and fill the void. Or, in this case, maybe some of these people needed some time to come to terms with what is going on. In any case, I agree it is a good sign that they've at least expressed interest in reconnecting. Maybe you can ask them what was holding them back (if you are close enough to them) if you decide to reconnect. I hope everything works out well for you. Susan (Team member)

100% true. When I was diagnose some people I thought wouldn’t faded away and some people I thought wouldn’t even care stepped up in a major way. It is weird how that seems to happen to everyone in some form. I found that sometimes it was worth the conversation and sometimes it wasn’t. It depends on the person I suppose but either way, I can say that most people are not alone if they don’t want to be! Keep on keepin’ on, DPM

I am so sorry. I've been blessed. I was told I had multiple myeloma with no cure, would die before the end of 2019 and was told to not drive any more. I found a new church home and senior facility near my treatment center and have been loved by all.
