Seeing a professional is sure to help you. I hope you do seek out a good therapist.
Unfortunately, having a friend, relative etc. with cancer sometimes brings out the worst in some people. I think that what drives people away sometimes, is their inability to know what to say or do. So they stay away.
If you care to rekindle some friendships that are important to you, you might just have to tell these people straightout how you feel and hopefully they will realize what they have done.
Good luck to both of you. I hope things get better soon.
