People say the DARNDEST things...
ALREADY my right side has been hurting (more twinges than anything) for 2 days (not 2+ weeks, so lets not panic yet) and I went to see our department assistant earlier and she says "you look so sad, your cancer isn't back is it?" talk about your stomach falling through the floor. "Not that I know of." "Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, I thought maybe it was and you were sad because you were trying to deal with it by yourself". I KNOW my face went blank on her, I excused myself and left. Some things are better left unsaid...I'm ALREADY in a slight "worry mode" and NOW you REALLY kicked that into high gear...is a "sad face" (I'm waiting for a job I want to be posted so I can apply and maybe THAT's why I'm sad) a sign of cancer? Also, any tips on foods that help the "liver" (now that I'm panicking)...there goes MY day.
