Maybe an even better question to ask is, who doesn't know?
As I was leaving the coffee shop, after my bike ride on Saturday, one of the guys I ride with frequently, mentioned he read my blog the other day and commented on some of my posts.
WOW! I was a shocked, or at least I was taken by surprise. Now while I've never tried to hide my lymphoma or my blog [my email address does include my domain name], neither have I ever made it my mission to inform the world. So why then was I so surprised when he mentioned he read my blog?
It wasn't so much he knew, and I didn't realize he knew [although I probably should have], I think it just had more to do with the venue where he mentioned it. There were several other club members still there, who expressed surprise I had a blog. I just hate to think everyone would find out, and then I start getting treated differently than they would if I didn't have lymphoma.
Oh well, such is life. I don't think that has happened so much yet, but I have had my suspicions at times. I just don't want anyone to feel they have to treat me differently. That has always been my biggest fear.
