Hm-m-m!

One thing I have found amusing throughout my ordeal in dealing with cancer is how often I have heard this:  "You look really good"

I heard that from people when I was recovering from my surgery.  I heard that when I was undergoing chemo and lost all of my hair.  I heard that while I was going through radiation therapy.  I still hear it from time to time.

This always makes me wonder how it is I am supposed to look.  What are the people's ideas of what people like me who are dealing with cancer should look like, whether it's surgery, chemo, or rads? 

I remember sharing this with a group of people, and I did put it out there to them, "What am I supposed to look like?"
