@meka-I know, people mean well but don't always come across as they do. Their questions often sound nosy and not caring. As Nancy said you don't need to tell your story to everyone, not if someone sounds challenging (for whatever reason) you do not have to defend yourself. During treatments and tests and Dr's appointments we are all vulnerable because, I think, we have to go so darn often! You can always say that you do not want to talk about your cancer. You want to talk about happier things; not all cancers are treated with chemo; Stages are not important. Did someone really ask you this? how long do you have? OMG. a. How long do you have? b. Long enough for me to live my life out and have fun! c.‘I appreciate that this is of interest to a lot of people but I can't live or think that way. I'm being treated to live not to think about funeral expenses.
@linda10, @sakota, @bluelagoon - WHat kind of answers have you given?
