I made the mistake of going to a party once during treatment. I had only lived in the UK a couple of years, and the friendships were not strong enough to handle it. I just wanted to cut loose and have fun too but the women just completely ignored me like I was a leper. I left in tears, it was awful. On the flip side my friends back home were really wonderful when I saw them, but it was after my treatment. It is very hard to go through without that. I had aggressive mediastinal, I forget the abbreviation because doctors here are way less jargon-y lol. So glad you got through it! 👊❤️
