I bet most of us “incurables” are faced with few people understanding our situation. Assuming we are “cured” when we look well or are not in treatment. Finding it hard to grasp we are incurable when we aren’t frail and gaunt and in a hospital bed attached to a drip. I thought this Guardian article on the long middle expressed it perfectly.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
