You are so right in saying they don't understand because they have not walked in our shoes. After almost 6 years of being in and out of treatment I am still asked when I am going back to work! They tell me I look great. They don't understand the chemo brain, fatique, sleepless nights, all the appointments we sat around for, the phone calls to straighten out the errors of billing, trying to eat healthy and not on the run, drink lots of fluids causing us to go to the bathroom more frequently and on and on it goes. Enough said, Kim you said it well, keep the faith and keep moving on. You have God's leading and will do well. Have a blessed, happy Thanksgiving. hugs, Sandy
