[quote=Anonymous]As someone who went through chemo, I urge you to be more compassionate. When I first got the diagnosis and treatment plan , I was much like your stepmother. I didn't want people to see me sick, vulnerable, frail, etc. Because normally I'm the opposite. I didn't want to have to deal with the constant asking how I am, etc. I'm a private person by nature and chemo strips you of all privacy (couldn't even go to the grocery store without having people look at me after I'd lost my hair). That said, as treatment went on, I found out who my close friends were. They were the ones who reached out to DH or sent me an email but didn't treat me differently. They were the ones who helped DH . And those were the ones who I let into my life during treatment. Let your stepmother handle this how she needs to. Be there for your dad. [/quote]
