I'm so sorry. Because if we don't look sick people just don't get it. Nothing wrong with showing them information re: your health if you feel close enough to them to do so. Maybe that would help them to understand and begin to feel some empathy for you. 💗

I don't really look sick either. My energy is way down - but that's not really visible. I know my sister can see that I have lost about 65% of my hair (with no chemo). But my family at least my sister has seen a number of times when I ate out or just tried to carefully eat a normal meal - what it did to me. My first Thanksgiving with family in years, this year - just made me miserable. I don't know how much of the misery is visible. Yet - they still want to go to fast food places, and eat out all the time and more or less cook the same things we used to enjoy and try to tempt me to "have" a taste. So much of our socializing used to be centered around family meals and eating out. Over 2 years out, I am still not sure if I will ever be able to eat anything without hesitation.

I look the same but tired and not as strong as I once was. sore bones all the time.
