I appreciate where people are coming from, but when you ask me how I'm doing during my cancer treatment, don't interrupt my shiort response to tell me you know how I'm feeling because you watched someone go through it.
You can empathize, but I can't even sympathize with other brain cancer patients because our situations are different.
The chemo fatique is so bad for me, by the time I've dressed, brushed my teeth, gone to the kitchen, made my breakfast and sat down in my chair, I feel like i've walked into a concrete wall and am ready to back to bed.
Like I said, I appreciate where people are coming from, but when I'm so fatigued, I'm ready to collapse and burst into tears, I can't handle your misguided sympathy.
