Thank you all for responding to my question about how to answer folks who ask if I am cancer free. It is good to know that my mixed feelings are common. I like the comparison with losing a child. Our first child was stillborn. While I consider myself to the the parent of 3, when folks ask about my family, or when we introduce oursleves, we introduce ourselves as a family of 4, not 5. If it comes up later we talk about our first child. I guess with cancer it can be the same way. As far as daily life and normal functioning, I do not have cancer, though in my mind and heart it will always be a part of who I am. Thank you all for your help, once again.

Blessings to you all, seof

If our heart is a living room, and we have C in it, it may be like an ugly piece of furniture. So lets redecorate a little. Maybe a slip cover. My slip cover for C is all the love I have been a part of with friends like you. Maybe we can turn C into a useful piece of furniture, like a bookcase full of the ways that I am healing myself, through out, as a result. Maybe we can downplay it, by painting the walls of our heart room a bright, happy color and filling our the room with other good things.
Maybe this is trying too hard, but hey, its better than hurting. Thanks for the good topic, Seof. love to all of you, Joyce

Thanks to you seof for voicing a question many of us have but sometimes can not articulate. I guess it is best to say we had it and hopefully as the years pass by it will be a very distant thought. Love you all, Lili
