I think what you said Bill is right. If you try to be upbeat people seem to think it's a walk in the park! Only the people close that see you every day and know how hard a journey this cancer thing is really understand.
I felt so cross when I read that people had dared to suggest Brenda may be 'lazy' when she had battled so courageously this illness.I wanted to fly across the pond and shake them.
The thing that I find hard is when people look at me with pity.It is as if they don't think I am the same person as before.I guess it has to do with fear and the difficulty we all have in confronting our own mortality.
