A Small Battle, but a Battle Nonetheless

I posted a status on my Facebook page recently, regarding my personal battle about living with cancer.  Some well-meaning but misguided soul made some sort of comment about me making too much of a big deal about beating cancer and that there were women who went through a lot more than I did.  I do agree with that, but to say that I'm making too much of a big deal is extremely insensitive, to say the least.  Tomorrow marks exactly 7 months since my hysterectomy, and the fact that all of the cancer was removed.  Perhaps I am making too much of a big deal.  But on top of having to deal with a cancer diagnosis, I have to deal with the pain of never being able to experience the joys of giving birth to a child.  I grieve every single day for the children that I will never, ever have.  And for someone to make light of what I have to endure just because I didn't have to go through chemotherapy or radiation is truly uncalled for.  But I'm not going to let that bother me.  I'm just gonna concentrate on getting better, one day at a time.
