Hi Dana
Thanks for your post. I have come to realize that a lot of people
are not comfortable around someone who has cancer unless that
person is fighting the good fight with a smile on their face. Our
society doesn't look up to someone who is displaying any kind of
perceived weakness. We honour the fighters not the criers.

I've been told by many people that I have handled everything
very well. I always say "you don't see me when I'm not".
I haven't had any "meltdowns" in public but I am sure I will some
day.

Be true to yourself. If that's the way you felt that day then that's
the way you felt. Your boss probably didn't know what else to say
to you at that moment. I know that I will never be the person I was
before my dx. and there are times when I have different reactions to
things. I guess this is the new me.
