@cmb2022. I know some of the folks I told meant well but telling me I don't look sick when I know I'm healing inside did not help me to feel better. I tell myself that these people just didn't know what to say and I guess by saying that they thought they were being helpful. I didn't look like the emaciated cancer patient they expected to see. A few people asked if I knew what caused my cancer. No, and even if I did what difference would that make? The treatment options were and are still the same.

Dinner with our neighbors was wonderful. There was even chocolate cake for dessert. I was so full though that I only ate a very small piece of the cake which is unusual for me. I love chocolate.

I had a relaxing Sunday. I hope you did too.

We are in that very special club of cancer survivors. We can applaud one another for not ever giving up hope.
