Doctor doctor

I appear to I have a breast cancer specialist as a distant friend. I knew she was an oncologist, but this is a surpise.

You might even say she's a friend, I did go to her wedding in Barbados 8 years ago after all, my first trip with D. "You're bringing a girl?" I think is what her fiancé, D's university buddy said when he broke the news to him. D even paid for the whole trip, part of his woooooowing me. Yes, it worked. We kept in touch, they came to our wedding 4 years ago and their first born met our only born.

She knows about my diagnosis and she has made it clear I can call anytime. The problem is, the last time I talked to her or him for that matter was a year ago, during our last medical emergency. I know they care a lot and want to help, but I don't want to treat her like, god forbid, a doctor: "Hi, we haven't talked much, you know, life gets in the way, but now your profession makes you my favourite person". D hates when people aks him to fix computers too much. I know, deep down I realise she's sincere and wants to offer what she can, like everyone else, but I don't feel comfortable yet. I told D to give her the details of my diagnosis, and then if she still doesn't mind, I will call her. She is a friend first. Her profession is just lucky for me right now.
