Dealing with cancer AFTER treatment - Trying to move on

I am going to have a rant here about something bugging me on facebook. I would love to know if I am over reacting or if any of you guys feel the same?! I finished active treatment on Halloween last...

Hi Andrea,

I confess my knowledge of cancer was mostly gleaned from movies so when it came to chemo time I was actually surprised. For my chemo cocktail the side effects I thought would be common weren't and ones I had never heard of were pretty standard! It really is a learn as you go thing and you deal with it in stages.

Your juice cleanse comment made me laugh by the way :)

One person I know from high school but have barely seen in 18 years sent me a MASSIVE message about how I should stop drinking fizzy drink. Funny thing is I barely drink the stuff! You just have to laugh.

On the front being gentler to our fellow beings.....I agree 100% 

All the best,

Karen

On the upside people have been incredibly kind to me during this period and it has reminded me that we should all be gentler with our fellow beings regardless of their health status. - See more at: https://www.bcna.org.au/online-network/members/Karen%20T/blog/dealing-with-cancer-after-treatment-trying-to-move-on?cmt_id=f8197bdd-8a71-43d1-b9d8-1072a056f13d#sthash.2IGwtBuc.dpuf
