I assume the very close friend is a male. He most likely is just very concerned. I just left it as an open book. I still do 4 years later. I am one of those kind of guys if you ask how I am doing , I make you wish you had not asked. I leave some of the details out for our female friends that ask.

You’re probably right that it’s being done with good intentions. I prefer to give updates when I’m ready. I also don’t want the cancer to become my identity which is why I only share it with family and close friends. They are around me the most and it is important to have a support network. Maybe that’s my way of trying to hang on to a “normal life”. I do appreciate your input!
