Recommend Ways To Handle Emotional Stability In Cancer Patients

I am still healing from my cancer surgery from 1 year ago. During my health turmoil, my family (Siblings) emotional support were really lousy and almost like strangers to me. I feel very abandoned and I am still going through the feeling of hurt. Should I cut off my relationships with my siblings. They are more concern about their own self and happiness it seems to me rather than giving me the true sincerely love, care and emotional support that I need so desperately.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

You are a strong person battling cancer and great to know that its been a year since your surgery. Cancer is a challenging condition and you are your greatest support when fighting cancer. Your siblings might have not realized the situation you are in and the turmoil in your mind. Please forgive them and pray for your well being.

There is no need to cut off relationships with them and instead you please try ways in which you feel stronger and independent in your fight with cancer. I am sure you are going to win the situation and in few months time you should be able to make a complete recovery. Try and spend time with friends outside your family. They will always value your presence and lend you ears when you require and need them. Please do not worry.
