Thanks all...Miss B, I know exactly how you would feel, I want to scream sometimes when those questions are asked about my husband. I believe no 2 people are the same, but there is so much ignorance out there it's not funny. So you say 'I have no evidence of disease, or no active cancer', and yep, they think you're cured, but they aren't the ones who have gone through that horrendous treatment with long term side effects. Maybe it's not just my mental problems that prevent me from leaving the house much, but also having to face 'those' questions! I feel for you hon, even though I'm just a carer.....
