Not OK — and that's OK

Oh that is 100% spot on!
I am to have my second surgery for neuroendocrine cancer next week, another lobe will be removed from my right lung. It can be a lonely time for someone with rare cancer, people don't know of it so can't understand and of course the stigma of lung cancer is another concern for us.
But we on this connection know and understand each other's emotions and it certainly helps. Enjoy each day and each other. Good wishes to all of you. From glor

Best wishes and good luck with the operation. ♥️💪

The challenge with a rare cancer is that no one knows about it; the challenge with a common one like prostate or breast cancer is that everyone *thinks* they know about it (but most of what they know is wrong).

I'm so sorry that you also have to deal with the stigma and victim blaming around lung cancer.
