I have somewhat the opposite problem. My friends and family mostly my family keep reminding me that I have two cancers (one stage IV the other stage II grade 3), I just say I feel cured therefore I am cured. Perhaps it is because I don't physically look so good. I will admit cancer did age me. I do try to put make-up on look my best,

These comments actually make me feel better. Although I really don't like to be reminded that I have cancer. So statements like you look good for someone with cancer is not really helpful.

I STILL tell people they look great when they do. And, I am 100% fine with hearing the same. I DO look good for someone who is battling stage IV lung cancer ... and I am GLAD I don't look sick. I am delighted that I am still able to do things I love to do. Sure, I have a deadly disease, but from the outside, my weight is (too) good, my coloring is good, I have hair, I wear a smile most of the time, I do look good to be a cancer patient. I suspect it shocks people to hear I have cancer. Is that bad? Not to me!
