Rhonda,
You are usually so good with words and your thoughts! I don't think you were rude, just maybe not understanding her in that moment...
Even after finishing chemo, I really thought I could not get through radiation. I hated it--worse than the chemo, but not more than the steroids. So, maybe she is just having a really hard time with it?
Knowing how caring you are, I can see that this is gonna bug you. Maybe talk to her tomorrow and tell her that you didn't mean to offend her, or to hurt her feelings. I do things like that all the time--second guess things I say and do.
It's an easy fix. 
Take care,
