Well, I searched lol and I can only say that that comment was completely out of place and uncalled for 😵‍💫😲 ! WHAT ???? One can only wonder in what kind of "unforgiving" family one lives 😰 and what intimate details one is sharing with all of the coworkers of all people 😕. We are all different and deal with stress in different ways and what we share or not is matter of privacy first and foremost.
I am flabbergasted and I can only say that you should be back and posting , by all means !
You have extensive experience with radiation treatments and your voice is very valuable here. 💗

I am sad that some other members stopped posting too 😔 ...

@surftohealth88 Curiosity got the better of me, too.
Wow.
You don't tell someone that you'll never meet, how to handle the C news.
Maybe he didn't want to repeat "the story" 20 times to 20 different people.

As for me, I told everyone who asked.
First was my family - who are all in Australia, so it's Facebook messages back & forth.
But that was mainly to say to my brothers "If you ever get asked if there's family history of prostate cancer, now you have to say yes. My bad."

What was interesting at work is that although I told anyone who cared, many others were told that I was going to be away for 6 weeks for "medical treatment".
I later asked them about it & apparently, they wanted to protect my "privacy".
As we all know, concerns about privacy & bashfulness go out the window when your legs are in stirrups & some dude slides an ultrasound thing where the sun don't shine & starts stabbing you.

What awful comments. I hope he's gone.
