Darn - so sorry your buddy made you feel upset & rattled over her comments & persistence in getting an answer that she 'wanted' rather than what you were prepared to say .... she obviously isn't very good at reading a person's 'mood' - or would have SHUT UP earlier!
Yes, many of us were upset & a tad angry over the tone of a few of the threads started by the one person who was very combative .... it just wasn't necessary & was SO disruptive & divisive!
VERY interesting @kezmusc .... I'd never really thought of us as 'being in remission' like some other cancers - but I suppose we are! I've never really considered my husband as being 'in remission either' tho he had his stomach cancer surgery & chemo back in 2010 - I've always considered us having had our cancer removed, and then being 'treated for cancer' afterwards as a 'mop up' exercise!
I guess we'll always get those 'And tell me, how are you REALLY??' questions - even after you've just told them you're going 'OK'! grrr
Yes, let's help each other and support each other thru this shitty road that we are on .... onwards and upwards Xxx
All the best to those who are doing it tough just now! Hang in there - you can do it! xx
