I am getting a little pissed with the never ending but well meant assumption that everyone with cancer will recover. I went to a Living with Cancer workshop today, and even there, I had to point out that we do not all survive even with all the advances in cancer treatments. Sometimes our cancer is found just too late, and I got the usual response of people not wanting to talk to me or be near me when I tell them I am on palliavtive chemo to buy a bit more time. This is really getting on my nerves, does anyone else experience this or am I just paranoid?
