Soapbox time. I actually had a "Girl" tell me that my Cancer wasn't too bad because it wasn't a "Golf ball" size tumor. Oh O.K. Well FYI, my Oncologist told me Thursday that a 1cm tumor in the Breast has over 1 BILLION cancer Cells in it. My tumor was 1.7 cm and was infiltrated. (which means it is possibly in my bloodstream or moving down to my Ovary. I am glad this "Person" thinks that that is NOT so bad. Any Cancer is bad, any Cancer is life threatening and Any Cancer changes someone's life Forever. It's O.K. to talk about it and I am getting better at that. But don't belittle someones diagnosis. AND it is not "Just Hair" to someone that is losing theirs. It is part of their identity.
O.K. I feel better now.

ReplyDeleteI can not believe someone said to you that you were 'just going to lose your hair'. Obviously, they have never gone through it. And what a heartless thing to say! I hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest that persons arm pits, and that their arms are too short to reach the itch.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Julie. I think I will hatch the fleas myself and wrap them as a gift. I just considered the source and let it go. She is an idiot. Her mouth talks before her brain thinks.
