Christine's story is shocking. It's difficult enough to go through surgery, chemo, rads, and related issues of OC. I found myself imagining what I would say if confronted in the same way. "I had cancer, what's your excuse?"

That might be a good strategy--imagine the worst comment and then come up with a powerful retort. Although, nasty people will never get it anyway. They are wired differently and derive pleasure by exerting cruelty on anyone who is not like them.

Christine, your fighting spirit will get you a long way! We all love you.
