Mary Jo,
I agree that so many people don't "get it", but I have to admit neither did I until it happened to me. Of course I knew how devastating cancer can be, but I didn't know how much it changes your life forever. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when they make comments that this is all behind me now. My "favorite" question is: "Are you cured?" I always respond that I hope I am.
Congratulations on reaching your 3 year mark! Wishing you many, many more years of good health and happiness.
Take good care,
