[Leslie's sister]

Liz:

I just don't get people sometimes. And from a professional that works in a hospital.....

Something similar happened to my sister right after diagnosis. I was having a party at my house and my sister, myself and a friend were sitting at a table making small talk. Finally the friend decided that it was time to talk about my sister's recent diagnosis & started asking questions. My sister was fine with it and then out of the blue the friend starts talking about someone else she knows whose cancer came back, wasn't doing well and was probably going to die soon. My sister handled it very well. She just got up and walked away from the table. The friend had a puzzled look on her face, like hey what was that all about. Duh!
