I have got a 'friend' whos wife has cronic pain syndrome, with no cure, she often comes out for a drink and is always depressed. I went out the night I was diagnosed and she said 'why are you out you must be in shock!' I have stayed really positive through my diagnosis and carried on as normal making an effort when I go out.He keeps saying to me Lynne wishes she has cancer and then at least she could be treated. He has no idea of what I have been through with my chemo and radiotherapy and the long term side effects, and my stoma op next week.They see me looking well and think 'she looks ok'. It makes me mad someone could be so insensitive. He has no idea what it's like to stand in front of a doctor and be told you have a year to live if you do nothing!!!
He keeps saying why should you get paid to be off work when you seem ok. If his wife had cancer she would be really negative and not go out.It just makes me so cross, other people just don't understand what a personal battle we go through every day just to appear 'normal' in spite of adversity.

Sounds like your 'friends' wife has cronic pain in the arse syndrome which is obviously infectious as he has caught a huge dose of it too. Miserable ar....oles! It beggars belief that anyone would ever wish they had cancer, just because it could be treated.
You keep smiling and being positive honey, we know the enormous struggle we all face physically and emotionally, people like that really don't matter.
