my dad had melanoma in the 90s and it wasn't likely he'd survive. he kicked it's ass and outlived his oncologist. there are still people today that will run into him, particularly at funerals, and some have been dim enough to say, "i thought you died." i don't think people mean to be cruel, or at least i hope not.
