I was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive breast cancer it will be 3 years in February. I am doing well. Had a double mastectomy, treatment, currently on femara with very few negative sidw effects. Just had my marker test last week. I also had my regular noncancer and my calcium levels were high which can indicate the return of cancer, but with normal cancer markers and a redo of the other test, I'm okay [do not get bloodwork after a 3 day stomach flu]
My sister is a nurse at a cancer center. She immediately convinced everone that I was faking cancer. It was so scary last week when my calcium levels were up. And I had noone to share my fear and then later my good news.
I m a very nice and honest person but I am Autistic. It was easy for her to convince people who I thought were friends { i guess just being nice to the weird and ugly autistic person] that I am faking. After all, I don't even look people in the eye, always look nervously guilty and "Lose my words" when asked about cancer. These are typical autistic traits [as is honesty]
I used to be so happy. I knew I was too weird to be anyones close friend but I thought people liked me.
The last 3 years have been a nightmare. BTW I can send anyone medical records proving it if you want. I cannot stop crying..
