You Don’t Look Like You Have Cancer!

How do you deal with this comment? It’s supposed to be a compliment I think, but it causes a little bit of guilt.
I’ve done it all, in the five years since first being diagnosed with stage four.
Currently on regimen of chemotherapy but with no side effects, none! Haven’t lost weight, no nausea, very little fatigue, no hot flashes, no hair loss.. I had major spinal tumor removal surgery recently due to the cancer… I post just to say I wish people would think before they speak.
My heart goes out to others fighting stage four who aren’t as lucky as me.
