Drop cancer all together. I hate labels. I'll talk about all the time in these forums. I don't want to talk about it in person. Maybe it's just still to new. I'm approaching 6 mos.
Maybe I'll feel different in the future.

Hi Denise- Is 6 months from learning that you have cancer or from your first treatment? I've never been cautious about who knew that I had cancer, and this goes back to 1981 with my first cancer. I think that I felt that the more people who knew about cancer and all of the new treatments, the more educated people would be. It's now 27 years since my first cancer. I'm still not shy about discussing it if it's appropriate.
It's terrifying the first time that you hear the word cancer when it's being applied to yourself. I'm glad that you feel like a warrior. It will serve you well as you fight on!
