I have not been on the forum for a while, just enjoying being well! 3 yrs and 3 months and I count every single day. I had to post here because this is my biggest issue now, with family and friends, they just don't understand what I live with and what I can and cannot do or eat, and how could they! Not like having a tooth out or another type of surgery that heals with no "New Normal". What can I say, nice to know that I am not alone in this, people here on the forum do get it, thank God for this place to vent. Here is the best one that was slung my way not long ago and I quote "my friend has just been diagnosed with cancer, but not like yours, you know the real kind in her breast" Gotta love that one....I was speechless..
