Wow, Jess...all I can say is that I so admire your openess and your honesty of this awful challenge. I love that you tell your readers what NOT to say to a cancer patient in frank words. You are so right that you can never know what a person goes through and to try and say some of those things to them is just ridiculous. Just know that people say them because they have no idea what to say and they stumble through out of love and concern for you (even though it may sound idiotic). Know there are a ton of people out there who love you and are praying for you, including me. I wish I lived closer so I could be with you during chemo and radiation treatments and to be a shoulder for you to cry on. I hope the time goes swiftly so that you can get all the chemo and radiation treatments done and get on the path of a more "normal" life soon. I know that all cancer patients say that cancer changes you forever, and I have to believe that to be true. You will always be a cancer "survivor"....I prefer to call you a cancer warrior, because that is what you are....bravely fighting, always fighting--for life. You are a hero as are all cancer patients and you have my love and respect.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.com
