People come here to know they are not alone, not for people to start talking about cancer like we should all feel guilty for feeling afraid of being s* from a bug!
She was trying to help you. As emets, when we think we're in danger of catching a virus, it's like the end of the world for us. It feels like it'll never end. She was simply pointing out, that if it did happen, you would cope, and you'd be okay. It wouldn't last forever. Whereas, a cancer patient can have those symptoms long-term. She was trying to help put it in perspective, so you wouldn't feel so afraid. I fear stomach viruses as much as you do, so I know how terrifying it is. Like Syrup said, if you're careful with hygiene, you should be absolutely fine.
