- Everything happens for a reason.
- I’m sure you’ll be fine.
- Congratulations, you’re done with treatment and now your life can go back to normal.
- Don’t worry about it.
- You’re so lucky. You get a free tummy tuck and boob job.
- Think of all the fun you will have with trying new wigs.

- Your cancer is nothing compared to what others are going through.
- At least you don’t have Covid.
- It’s just hair. It will grow back.
