How much do you share with acquaintances or teachers?

I agree that cancer has a way of weeding out fair-weathered friends. By the same token, casual acquaintances can really surprise you with an unexpected level of support so it can also build new friendships. 😊

Zebra, that is so true! I had a few acquaintance friends who really went above and beyond (a cooler full of meals) and those who I considered closer friends who weren’t “there for me”.

I used an online forum called Caring Bridge (almost five years ago) to share my diagnosis and progress as I became weary of repeating updates. People seemed to appreciate it and could write remarks back to me. That being said, if I have a recurrence, I would probably be more private. Do whatever works for you.

Best wishes, Cindy
