Wink Do people write you off?

Yes. I think Woman of Steel is on the right track. Cancer is a misunderstood disease. Many people don't understand it, fear it and think people with cancer either die quickly or are completely healed right away like some of the stars who have come out about their disease. Alot of people just don't understand that there are thousands of cancer patients with chronic cancer who live for many years after being diagnosed. Some people may also think it is contagious---yes even in this day and age !!!!!!!!
