I’m not going to pretend that I don’t want to see TFIOS, because I really really do. I want to be excited to see my cancer being represented on screen… But…
A. I don’t want to cry by myself in the theater during the WHOLE THING
B. I don’t want to see people dressed as Hazel for Halloween.

I’m terrified of going with my (legit) oxygen tank/cannula and cane, and having people assume that I either have cancer, or am dressing up, neither of which is accurate.  (I have bronchiectasis and adrenal insufficiency.)  The scrutiny has me afraid to go.

Are you afraid of them thinking that in itself, or what they might do to you as a result of thinking that?

I’m afraid of being approached or laughed at or any sort of reaction really at all.
