It's not WE it's Me.

I need to vent here. There is something that aggravates me to no end. I have been reading some posts this weekend and saw this coming up in many instances, so it struck a nerve.

When a cancer patient is undergoing treatment for some reason the people arround them (be it caregivers, family members, etc.) feel compelled to describe what is happening collectively. As in: "we underwent radiation treatment" or "we are halfway through chemo." YOU were not halfway through anything. It is ME this happened to.

Somebody in my family said this to me during treatment, and I almost clocked him. Cancer may affect the whole family, but unless you are the person who has the cancer in your body it is NOT happening to you. For those of you facing this, please refrain from characterizing the cancer experience in this way. It is insulting to the person who actually has the cancer.

Thank you for indulging me. As always I just love a good rant. lol.
