New research by the Teenage Cancer Trust finds some young people feel 'abandoned' during treatment.

Hiral was disappointed with one of her closest friends who wasn't around after her diagnosis

"I could see my friend on social media going out and partying - which is totally fine - but I thought 'why isn't she visiting me?' It was the worst time of my life and I really needed her." "When she told me that, I was so angry, but thinking about it now I can see that she probably just couldn't deal with it."New research from the charity Teenage Cancer Trust has found that 40% of 121 young cancer sufferers surveyed said some of their friends stopped contacting them completely after diagnosis, and three quarters said that their friendships had changed.

Having had cancer and also having seen cancer, it is hard to find the right words or even any.the media is also full with articles on what not to say, making it even harder to overcome one's fear. All the best to those patients and as the article ended, just talk and be there.

Almost Always

Read your own story - It was ONE friend, who did actually visit her in hospital, they were just hesitant about what to say. As many of us would be. I feel for her, but the headline is inflammatory for no good reason.
