I don't even know where to put this...I just flashed my gram. She brought me some skin sealer stuff and a bunch of bandages and wound care stuff, like 50 bucks worth of crap from Walgreen's. She starts going off about sealing it all up, that will make it better, then cover it with these bandages. I asked her what the hell she was talking about. She says "your problem there" as she points at my chest. I told her skin sealer doesn't cure cancer gram.
After quite a few minutes of trying to get a coherent sentence out of her I finally figured out that she thought I had some gaping hole from my mast 2 months ago. I said What the hell? Really? and flashed her.
I just flashed my 80 year old gram! Right in the middle of my living room no less. I've never flashed anyone in my life. This seems so stupid and so very funny all at the same time. Gotta love my family.

The midwife at my OB/GYN told me she knows exactly what I'm going through because she 'buried two family members recently from BC'. Only that I need her to check my urine & blood pressure before I meet my doc, I'd have b*tchslapped her out the door! Sigh.....I guess people think they are being helpful or something.....

OMG the midwife said that?? Oh what a horrible thing to say--I guess people think they are helping? but I don't see how.hahaha bi**h-slapped I haven't heard that in a long time funny Momtobe

How does KNOWING someone died equate to one being the possible DEAD person? Sorry to be blunt, but sheesh!!!

I had to flash someone too. A friend of mine started on about how if she had breast cancer, she would go to a raw food camp for 2 months, as this would cure anything. (I told her good for you-- but I hope you would also do the standard treatment either before or after!) Next, she proceeds to tell me NOT to focus on the 6% chance of recurrence (I'm supposedly in the best possible risk category) but to focus on the positive! I was halfway through radiation at the time with ink all over my slightly 'sun-burned' chest. I flashed my boob and said --and how am I supposed to focus on my 94% chance of "nothing", when I look at this every morning, I can't wear deodorant, can't shave and I leave work at 3:30 every day to get my rad treatment?

boy, bet that shut her up!!

Stormy-what a hoot, did GRAM finally get it. For me I had to just stop answering emails from the one side of the family. The one uncle thought if he rubbed is skin cancer hard enough he could rub it off. Another female cousin on that side is doing a diet-- feels great, has no clue even though I told her, that you can live many years with cancer and then it will get you. Don't know if anyone remembers ERIC V---he tried for ten years to get somone to pay attention to the lump in his chest. They blew him off b/c he was a guy They only paid attention when he had axillary lumps. I told the cousin this story and she still wouldn't consider anything else. The females on that side have a 1<2 chance of getting cancer. 13 of 22 women have had cancer, 9 were BC. 5/22 are dead. Bad gene, very bad gene. Our genetics are way beyond being suspicious---no takers on research. I think it'd be like Hunting's Chorea. The Daughter of Arlo Guthrie became a geneticist and found the gene b/c they found a family that had a cluster in South America,and worked on it. 7/10 of the Aunts and Uncles -brothers and sisters had cancer on side mentioned above. One died in a MVA at a young age so it's really 7/9. Hope this doesn't fall under the dumbiest thing I ever heard of and --didn't need to hear that. I view it as a huge missed opportunity for genetic research, that may have lead to a true advancement b/c all that were tested for BRAC, were negative. And last thought their was a sex linkage in the gene break. If I can keep my numbers straight. Cousins 10/19 females had CA, 1/24 males. Edited to add stats on generation that produced those cousins--7/9 withCA-3/3 females and 4/6 males.
A happy last thought, was it was fun, fun, fun growing up with 43 first cousins with total from other side 68

So, when you repeatedly write on your medical history: history of breast cancer (times two), hysterectomy, bilateral mastectomy... Do you feel like slapping someone when they ask -
"are you breast feeding or is there a chance you could be pregnant?".
No nips, no breast tissue, no uterus- what you think genius?
READ THE FLIPPING PAGES YOU MAKE ME FILL OUT EVERY BLEEPING TIME PEOPLE! Or is that just for my benefit to make me relive the hell I've been through? Ugh.0 -
meb, I was just asked yesterday if there was any chance I was breast feeding. I'm dead flat and 54. I just laughed HEHEHEHEHEHEEHHEHEEHEHE ...and then said "thanks, you just made my day!"
Yesterday my PCP also told me to lie down on the table. I told him I LOVE it when men tell me that. My DH and I laughed, but the doc didn't!!

Mebmarj, in the "didn't read the med history" bloopers you can include the doc who took my history for preop before my mx. He wrote in the number of kids I have plus the years they were born, then asked about surgeries and again asked for the year. I included "hysteroscopy". The genius wrote down "hysterectomy" even though 2 of my kids were born after that procedure.

Leah, I've heard of a laparoscopy, but what is a hysteroscopy??
0 -
Barbe, it's when the scope with the light is inserted into your uterus to see what's going on. I had it because I'd had 3 miscarriages in a row. It probably hurts like hell because they did it under general anesthesia.

Did you have children after that Leah? That's so sad to miscarry 3 times. I learned in biology years and years ago that 95% of all first pregnancies are miscarried before the female even knows she's pregnant. Amazing, eh?
0 -
I had 4 kids before the miscarriages and 2 after, but that time period was the most difficult and painful until I got BC. It doesn't matter how many kids you have, if you want more & can't have them it hurts.

{{{{ Leah }}}} You don't have to say that it "doesn't matter how many kids you have".....losing 3 is painful no matter how many you have!!!

Leah I agree with barbe, it's very painful to have 3 miscarriages, such an emotional toll

Here's one that gets me everytime - "Did they get it all?" I just want to say, "Nope, thought we'd leave some in to see what happens".

I was just told that it was the wrong decision to keep one breast. I should have just had them both chopped off.
This coming from a woman I've already talked about on this thread who had a lumpectomy and was done.
Reality, can I borrow that line? I love it!
0 -
I'm thinking that instead of just listing the stupid things people have said to us, we ought to start a thread of RESPONSES to those stupid things. Women are always supposed to be polite and thoughtful and suffer the blows. But to the woman who said you should have chopped off both breasts, why not say:
"Well, I understand why someone like you might go to such desperate measures to lose weight. But I love my body."
