Hi everyone.
I don't initiate conversation about my past cancer to others on a regular basis. I hope they don't interpret my silence as depression. Just the opposite. After awhile it becomes old news and I imagine that it's as boring for them to hear as it is for me to talk to them. I want to get on with living, and want to find new and more exciting things to hold conversations about. I haven't eaten solid food in a year, but you know what, I can think of lots of people who'd trade burdens with me any day. I know three people at work who've lost their children. My children are alive and healthy! I'm not about to let myself get hung up in a pity party just because I can't eat a hamburger!
Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm not saying it's wrong (there is no right or wrong in this game) to feel sorry for yourself, but speaking for myself, silence on the cancer subject doesn't mean I'm depressed, just means I've talked enough about that subject and am ready to move on alittle.
