Open Book
I was very open telling people I had breast cancer because I wanted everyone to get a mammogram. I would not have known I had BC if I had not gotten a mammogram because I could not feel the lump. I had so many people reach out or drop off small gifts. I remember telling my sister how amazed I was with all the random support. I felt very loved.
I'm so happy for you, and I felt the same way. I could not believe how many people sent cards or dropped off a little gift or food. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have done the same thing if the roles had been reversed. That sounds bad when I write it, but I'm being honest. Obviously, I would do that for certain people but I did not consider some of those people close enough friends for that. I was inspired to be a better friend after that.
