Welcome back, Melissa, it's good to have you home! I so enjoyed your stories about your trip to New Zealand, and could feel your joy in sharing them with us.
I can relate to your comments about they way people react to those of us with cancer. There's a lot of ignorance out there, and the more that people like you are willing to go public and share your story - with all of the elements including the bad ones - the better it will be for all of us. Today there are more people living with cancer than dying from it, and with the aging of the population it's highly likely that most people who live a long life will have some kind of cancer at some point in their life. If more people understood that they would likely become more curious and want to be more educated instead of doing the glazed eyes and get away from me routine. So, keep on sharing your story with us, we're all ears and waiting for your next post!
Glad you're back, Pat
