I was similar to David. Being single, I didn't have anyone to go with me to most of my doctor visits, tests, surgery, treatments or anything, so I'm used to that. During treatment was worst, I didn't want any visitors, no one to fuss over me, no smiley faces trying to cheer me up, no talking, and just wanted to be left alone, sleep, day dream, no telephone calls nor went on-line. I didn't even want to think, read or watch a movie. Although I did need someone to pick up prescription meds, Glucerna, medical products. The only thing I watched was the food channel, which was easy enough. I only went outside to go to treatments. After treatment was a little different, maybe 7 weeks, and didn't mind any company being a little more sociable, and a cooked meal when starting to eat.
