God bless you Kimberly. I think your reply is perfect.
My experience has been that people who have not walked in our shoes don't understand. A lot of people in my life think now that my treatment is over, I should just go forward and I am, with caution. When they ask how I am doing, I say fine, because that is what they want to hear.
I am still involved with several of the women from my support group and they always want to hear how I am doing. We share our fears and talk about the aches and pains we have. Somehow, eventhough we don't see each other as often as we would like, this connection really helps.
I would recommend this type of group to any cancer survivor.
I hope you and all of the women on this board have a peaceful and happy Thanksgiving.
Hugs,
Karen
