Having gone to my cancer doctor last week, I’m still processing her reaction to my ongoing good test results.

It’s tough experiencing thyroid cancer. Nearly everyone you tell about it (who has not experienced it themselves) will respond in the same way: “Oh that’s the easy cancer! They just take it out and you’re done! You don’t even get chemo!”

And then you’re left staring at them, thinking some combination of, “You absolute dickhead, it’s cancer!!!” and, “Well I hope it’s actually that easy.”

I went through multiple neck biopsies, surgery that I was told could have dangerous or permanent adverse outcomes, an odd radiation treatment that had difficult preparation, painful recovery, and ongoing nerve pain years post surgery. On top of the worry about, you know, having cancer! I could list all the many, many factors that did not make this “easy”.

Yet, after 8 years I am still here. I had an aggressive form of cancer that had a high likelihood of returning within 5 years, and a high likelihood of spreading. But it has not.

My doctor was very happy for me. Yet when I tell others, they already had this expectation of it being “easy” so they don’t celebrate with me. That makes it difficult to talk about. I just want people to be as happy for me as my cancer doctor is! Is it too much to ask? I’m still here!
