Am I being unreasonable. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last Wednesday, and had surgery on Monday. My husband and I have been together for 23 years, therefore I am close to his mum and stepdad, and I thought I was also close to his dad and stepmom, and half sisters and brother. I have twin 10 year old girls, through IVF, we went through a lot until we eventually had the twins. So as a family we have been through quite a bit. Also my dad passed away last year from Cancer, and my husbands mum recently had to have a double mastectomy so the word Cancer is a very scary word to our family. When I found out on Wednesday about the Cancer I phoned my mum, my hubby's mum and then his dad, where his dad passed me immediately over to my husband's stepmom. I told her that I had Cancer and that I was having surgery on Monday. After which she said she would be in touch, she never asked how our girls were, or spoke to.my husband. It is now a week later, my surgery was on Monday, and they have only just phoned now. Over the last few days I have had family members and friends getting in touch in numerous ways, through social media, text, phone calls etc to check how we are. Not once did my husbands half sisters etc.. contact me or message me, or respond to.other Facebook messages people have sent me, and then when my husbands step mum rang today, she asked how I was I explained that I was in pain from the surgery, to which she responded with 'so it was Cancer then?' So I noted that I'd already told her that the week before, I then discussed how I was upset that nobody had phoned my hubby to see how he was, or how the kids were, how nobody has contacted me at all. I said it felt that they really didn't seem to care, she then asked if I meant them too, and I said, yes, a little bit, to which she responded with ' well if that's how you feel, bye and take care' and put the phone down on me. They know that I'm waiting for my histology results to see if the Cancer was aggressive. I feel really bad about it, particularly for my hubby and kids. Was I unreasonable. Xx
