My best was when a fellow cancer patient was asking me about treatment. So I said had surgery now having chemo and then radiation. But reiterated that I was up to chemo.
He looks at me and says “ My mate Bob and I were diagnosed with stomach cancer at the same time. We then had the same surgery.”
”Bob started chemo and I didn’t and guess what?”
I obligingly said “what?”...
He said “Bob’s dead”.
Riiiiiiiiiiight........
Being told I am brave is another thing that is weird. I’m not brave. I’m getting on with this treatment because there is no other choice if I want to improve my chances of survival. That’s it. Nothing brave about it. Ride the wave.
