One of the biggest, most prominent things I had to deal with throughout and after my cancer treatment, were the reactions other people had to my situation. There was everything from insecurities about my appearance, which every teenager has, to concerns that other's might treat me badly because I was now disabled. In this episode, I'm taking you through some of the most common experiences I've had dealing with other people as pediatric cancer kid and as an amputee. We'll talk about how I and my family adjusted to the sight of my residual limb and prosthetic leg, how other people tended to react to my openness about my disability, as well as some of the less than pleasant situations I've found myself in as a young, disabled person.
