Don't like playing the "victim"....

I am not one to play the "victim". When people tell me they are sorry I got cancer my response is always the same "It's ok" because to me it is. I feel like I was chosen to have cancer so that some one else would not have to suffer threw it ( like one of my kids or some one elses kids) and for me thinking that way helped me deal with the news very quickly. Now yes I have my moments where I am in so much pain that I do the "woo with me" but every one does. But I have never had any one make me feel bad about myself because I have cancer.... that is until today. I was approved for a program to help me pay for college called the WIA program threw polk works. I was told by my case worker every thing was set and ready just needed the check. Well before my check could be made out My case worker left polk works and I was givin to her boss. I called this morning to talk to her and to check on my voucher status and never in my life has some one treated me the way this lady treated me.... This is the short of it that I posted on my FB you will get the point:

I thought I lived in America where it is illegal to discriminate against people for their race, gender,sexual orientation or disablilty! but no I guess I thought wrong because today I was discriminate against for having cancer....I have never been made to feel like me having cancer is my own fault and i should just go crawl in a whole some where and die but today i was told I am not worth some one... wasting their time, effort or the governments money to help me with school. That I shouldn't be going to school in the first place that it is a waste of every ones time and effort. I am sorry that some people see me as such a fucking inconvenience but I work my ass off to keep a 4.0 no one helps me, I don't ask for extra help or special treatment from any one at school but yet i still maintain a 4.0. SO thank you Mrs. Baptise for making it seem i am not worth the space i take up and thank you for reminding me that not every one is supportive and understanding... just when I was starting to think that people weren't as bad as I thought they would be, guess you proved me wrong.
