At the airport

Just been away on holiday to Spain which was a good thing. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of getting assistance at the airport. At the moment, I look well although the pain never really goes away. I have some bloating which is worse on some days than others. Unexpected zonked out tiredness is still a problem as is the intestinal stuff that most of us here seem to have and can be quite a problem at the airport. When I asked for help, others looked at me as if I was lying to get through the queues or something. It made me feel quite ashamed, but my husband said that it's better for people to feel a little angry or even jealous than the alternative which is to feel sorry for me. I really couldn't have done the whole thing without help and the holiday would have been ruined. |

I just want to say that I recently admitted that I was ashamed of having cancer & thought I was the only one who felt that way. It really sucks having to ask for help--at least we're still alive.
Hope you had a good holiday in Spain.

I think the one thing u have earned is the help and respect of others. Its a crude world but never feel like u are using ur cancer or anything like that. U do not have to apologize for needing help. I have a hard time with people. I am very overprotective of my mom now. I won't let anyone hurt her or talk. Just live ur life and donj't worry what other people think.
