    LisaR asked a questionStomach Cancer

    I'm curious about how to describe myself after cancer. Do you say I "have cancer" still? Or "I had cancer"?

      my cancer has recurred a couple of time and is currently active. I am undergoing chemo. I tell people "I have cancer." When I was in remission I said "I was diagnosed with cancer but it's currently in remission."

      Honestly, it kind of depends on how comfortable you and they are with talking about it. I'm happy to answer questions and such but a lot of people change the subject after my statements. That's OK too.

      Why would you want to travel to another country for treatments? Is it the cost? I would think you would spend almost as much of you traveled, and lived in a foreign country.
      But that's just my thoughts. I understand that treatment here can drain finances too. Even if you have insurance. Which is a shame.
