Support/ghosting

Hello all, I'm kinda new to this forum. I was diagnosed back in 2023 with testicular cancer, I had my testicle removed shortly after finding out. I still needed chemo because there was another mass on my lymph nodes farther up sitting on my urethra which made me have to get another surgery a few months after I got done with chemo. This surgery was the worst of everything, they told me it was supposed to be 4-6 hours and it ended up being a 12 hour surgery with complications afterwards that I had to deal with for another month or so.

Going through chemo was one of the hardest things for me with all this thinking back. I would see everyone else with someone else whether it be a significant other, husband/wife, friend, kids; but not me 95 percent of the time I was alone and to hear people say "I will come sit with you" and never show up kills me to this day. I just wish I had more support going through all this. The mental aspect of this afterwords is the hardest thing for me to deal with.
