The insensitivities!!!

[Terri B]

I think I've heard talk here about the insensitivities of "non-cancer" people. Well, I'm starting to feel it.

At the beginning, I welcomed my friends and co-workers "cheering" for me throughout my surgery and chemo. "you can do it" and "you're almost done!" and "you are sooo brave" (ha)

Well now, I have 10 rads left and I get asked "so, are you almost DONE?" Done? DONE??!

I try to explain, "well no, the residual effects will continue for about 6 more months, I still have herceptin every three weeks til jun, I still have this scan, that scan blah blah blah"

I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn blue. (
