Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 37 | Here is my other thought. I can't get the "I have cancer" thought out of my head. Are these thoughts going to be here for forever? My other thought is about telling people, I feel like such a faker talking with people and they have no clue what is going on, I just keep talking to them about other things. I am a teacher, do I tell my students I have cancer. Obviously, I am going to be out of school for a little bit to recover from the surgery. Do I make an announcement on Facebook? This mental side of it is exhausting. Thanks. I appreciate all the guidance I have gotten already.
