What I really didn’t expect was some good friends of many years who I had spent a lot of time with simply disappeared out of my life. Some people said, “they obviously weren’t real friends” and initially I agreed, but I now try and be a bit more charitable. I think they probably couldn’t deal with the thought of someone they knew so well having a life-threatening disease or didn’t know what to say.
