I read your post about what you wish other people would understand and want to know that I agree 100% but be careful that you don't separate yourself too much from them- having love and laughter to distract you is key. My husband and I wrote a book that may help you with this situation. We each wrote about all the aspects of cancer in our own voice and outlined out own experiences to highlight that, even though we lived through the same difficult time, we each had our own struggles. I wish you all the best as you continue your treatment!
