With friends like these....

Lots of cancer blogs talk about the strain that being ill can put on a friendship. Some friends have a hard time supporting someone who is going through treatment, they back away and become distant. Others quickly get tired of hearing about the litany of chemo discomforts - the mouth sores, hair loss, nausea, bone pain etc. etc. I've read stories of people losing friends who just simply don't want to be around a 'depressing' cancer patient. My friends? They cook an amazing four course charity fundraising meal with drinks provided by independent London wine store Bottle Apostle and donations going to the UK Lymphoma Association. So not only do I have the good cancer, I have the good friends. Thanks guys.
