Totally agree. All we here about is the pretty stories, not the messed up shit! I almost feel like I'm supposed to sit quietly in the background so the 'success' stories can bask in the limelight. And before anyone gets on their high horse, I totally agree that there is no limelight in having cancer. But not everyone gets the fairy tale. I wish we did. I wish we got the recognition. I started as the fairy tale, and I thought my battle was done, clear margins, clear nodes, the whole shebang and here I am 18 months later trying to figure out how to tell my 11 & 13 year old kids the whole story and how my husband will pay our mortgage and support the kids if I die in the next 12 months (like they told me). Messes with my head, big time and I'm only 2 weeks in!
