[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had a cancer diagnosis 15 years ago. I had surgery and the option to do radiation or not given the stage. I opted for radiation but had I not, cancer would have still deeply impacted my life. I worry about it coming back every single day of my life. I can see why your friend's posts annoy you but any cancer diagnosis is trauma in a real sense. Most people don't just shake it off because they caught it in time. I personally don't like the online persona you describe but I think your friend's feelings are likely very real and that her fear likely lingers every day from the trauma of the diagnosis. I chose not to share my story with anyone. I didn't even tell work and luckily didn't lose any hair other than body hair. Everyone is different. I too am sorry about the loved ones that have been impacted by cancer in your life. [/quote]
