People still just don't get any of *it*!
On 1-3-06 was the day I had my MRM. So as far as I'm concerned my cancerversary was 1-3-07. So I mentioned to a few people what a major milestone this was for me with the doom and gloom oncologists I had. I told them I shouldn't even be here if I had listened and believed my doctors. I didn't expect much when I mentioned this to them but not a one of them seemed to care. It was like I told them something so un-important like, "I better go wash my hands". They went right over it like it was nothing. (I'm so happy that they all care that I'm still here and ned so far.)
Sorry...just a bit disappointed in the few people I thought cared. I know you guys do get *it*. So I can safely post it here. (I'm done whining.)
