@Temple, that is very sad to hear about your work situation, no it is not fair.
On the flip side of looking through a different lens, it has also allowed me to see some truly wonderful people.
Some people in my life have really surprised me with their kindness and support, just small things that mean a lot.
@kmakm. Yes the "you're okay right?", pity look. I just usually say yep or I hope so, you are right few really want to hear about your aches and fears lol
@Afraser - thankyou for the explanation of the word remission, I think I will just go with the "I've got the all clear for now" response. I just wish people would stop asking so I can distract myself with other things.
