Re: Messed up emotionally

Hello,
I agree with the others, be happy and happy you have a little girl.
People say the darndest things - my neighbor has MS and keeps saying how lucky I am to only have cancer!!! I've told her it's ok to say that to me but please never say it to anyone else with cancer! we certainly don't feel lucky! I also had someone (not a child!) ask me if it was contagious!!!! People would like to think that cancer is a rare disease, unfortunately it isn't but because it isn't, there is lots of work on it to find a cure and to help keep us alive and able to enjoy life. Your friend didn't mean to be thoughtless, she's just so relieved not to have cancer. Stay well and enjoy life and your family. Treatments over, time to get back to your real life.
hugs
sarah
