But it feels like exposing a weakness; like maybe people will look at me differently, like I'm infirm or sick or weak, and I most definitely am not!!! |
Glad it was simple and they were able to get it all out!!
Well, last thing you want is to hear bad news because no news is good news. HOWEVER, to ensure you are here with us a for a long time you need to get checked so they can catch anything early and get it dealt with. I mean, you don't want to wait until it's too late, plus nothing better than a clean bill of health, right?!?!
Having had cancer doesn't mean you are weak, but I can understand where ppl would treat you that way. Just explain that you are still the same person, and it's gone so treat you the way they would anyone else! No need to point you out. That's the worst!
Bitch slap to prove your point or a nice uppercut to the jaw!!

As far as doctors go, if you have the right one, you'll actually like going to appointments. It took me years to find one I like and trust. He digs my car, so I love going for check ups so I can show him my latest mods.  I park by the back door so he can step outside after my appointment and listen to me start her up. The grin he gets makes it worthwhile!
