Twice this week, while doing my short walk in the park, using my cane, a passerby asked if I had my knees replaced, and another, if I had a bum knee. I told each no, it's from chemo for cancer treatment in the throat, and can see the look of fear in their faces, and probably sorry they asked, and neither could not believe it, repeating, from Chemo? I guees I don't have look of death anymore, when like when I was 130lbs, and pretty solid now at 200lbs, stil 40-50 lbs less that what I was, so figured if it could happen to me, imagine themselves lol. I told them should have seen me 4 years ago lol. I'm fine with talking about it, but most get uncomfortable when cancer is mentioned, and probably are more afraid for themselves.
