Tell anyone you are getting chemo when you are still hairy and overweight and you get this look of total disbelief.
"I thought people lost weight on chemo."
Well, apparently not all of them do. In fact, I've put on 5lbs. in one week. (I have a feeling that is due to being more sendentary because I'm becoming more fatigued.)
People have trouble imagining that you still look "normal."
If you took my picture right now, placed it in a book with snapshots of thin, bald people, you could play a sick game of "Where's Waldo?" finding the chemo patient.
