    OMG We need to add to the cancer cure recipe. My volunteer driver informed me (on the way to radiation) that if I ate flax oil mixed with cottage cheese my cancer would be cured in weeks. I'm also supposed to put magnets under my mattress to make the cure even faster.

    There just is no cure for stupid!

    Oh MoreShoes - I'm so sorry you had to have that experience. Many people just don't think before they speak. But, the old saying is true that no one can know what we face unless they've walked in the same shoes. That is why these threads are so helpful.

    MoreShoes - Yup I had that same thing come up and I blew up too.

    Just an FYI I waited 4 years after radiation - but had a reconstruction/reduction on both sides - Amazingly, the radiated side was the side that didn't give me any trouble healing.. The non-radiated side had open wounds and bad scars.. Have had 2 revisions. After the first revision, found out the reason for the bad scarring was the dissolvable stitches. Everything looks great now.

    Not only that, Marijen. She didn't have to deal with the sickness before that. She didn't go through chemo and radiation. Anyhow, I've developed thicker skin when it comes to statements like this from friends. I reply to them depending on my mood. sometimes I ignore them, sometimes I explode. And frankly, it's liberating.

    I got an a brush off email yesterday - "oh yeah it's all par for the course" kind of thing from a family member. Immediately trashed it.

    hard to get brush offs from family but it sure points out who you can depend on

    I'm so sick of stupid I could scream!!! Between Stupid questions and stupid statements.... It seems when I finally let down my guard stupid appears again. Oh Breast Cancer!!! This being stated to me at least 2 times a week, you will be fine my sister had that and took a pill for 5 years or sheesh I was worried I thought you had real cancer my mother had that and is fine. NO NO NO NO NO there are different kinds of breast cancer there is no pill or injection or whatever for what I have. Or the other common weekly is some potion I have to try "flaxseed and olive oil.... that always works" works on what? I must not be drinking enough Green Tea... And Gina4 I to was told to put the magnets under my bed. Don't forget to add the crystals, dance nakie in the moonlight, click my heels 3 times there's no body like a cancer free body.... sorry it's been a crap day...

    My dear colleage was just was diagnosed with Stage IIA at age 40, she has a teen daughter and a 9 yr old. All of us hospice admission nurses have been checking in with her, and no one says anything stupid. We're just present with her, no stories about people we know yada yada, She just had a bilateral mastectomy and starts chemo this week. She's such a positive person and we intend to be there for her. I did tell her when she's ready for her reconstruction I'll wait for her and we can get our nipple tattoos together in New Orleans and she had a good laugh. Sisterhood is powerful!

    Hi, and good morning ladies.............Hi Aly, and hello Shellshine.................Lord if you all go back a few years you will see how much stupid shit people have said over the years......................I'm here 5, and think I have heard it all....................right Aly......LOL.........but the best one was "oh you got the good cancer"..............

    And as far as Jolie goes......don't even get me started on that subject.......that is really a thorn in my side........my comment to that was.......she had a choice.....Did we.....she had time to plan...Did we.....she had the best money could buy....Did all of us........did she go through Chemo, Rads, Tamo, Femara, Arimidex.....Aches, Pains.......burnt by rads.......I think not.............and did she go through Hospice.....or a funeral........that would be a no..........so please stop calling her heroic..........she was one of the lucky ones.........now everyone can yell at me for my opinion........sorry that is how I feel........love you all........
