There is very little pain when all you get is a mastectomy, but recon is a whole different ballgame
That is really incorrect. Yes, recon is painful,, but having a mastectomy w/o recon is not a walk in the park either. Interesting that you posted under Stupid Comments, cuz you certainly made one yourself. Thanks for telling all of us who didn't have recon, that we really didn't have pain.

Hmmm....I had zero pain after surgery but trying to get dressed and stay dressed all day is painful! And annoying. Makes that whole recon issue a probable no. I can't imagine how bad that could suck for the rest of my life when being without recon is no walk in the park. Oh the things they never tell you.............

Hey glennie...BigSis was quoting her stupid nurse.

When I told my boss I was diagnosed and would be taking time off, altho I had no idea what treatment to expect and was scared to death, his response was oh, my aunt just had a double mastectomy and she's doing great. When anyone visited and my sister was present, they would ask about my cancer, and before I could say anything, my sister would say oh, she was stage 1 and they caught it early, so she's fine. It's been two years, and I still have anxiety, but a lot of people think you should just get over it and move on.

Dang Diane!! I wish there was a LIKE button. Or an "im so sorry you have to endure such stupidity" button.
MODERATORS Are you listening?

I did not get the impression that she was quoting her nurse,, as the nurse's comments were actually in quotes. However, my apologies if I misunderstood.

You're like the rest of us. We're sick and tired of stupid. Go get'em, Bulldog.

glennie19--I stand corrected. Funny how I just didn't think myself! Lol
I suppose I was thinking of my dad who traveled this breast cancer journey just a couple years before me. He was in his 80s and told me how surprised he was at the lack of pain after his mastectomy. Silly me. He did have much less surgery than we did!
He gets to go for yearly mammo on the remaining breast. I can't imagine how they get it under the machine.

just found this thread...has made me smile...Thankyou everyone!
I have have had "oh,you are a nurse so you should know"
How are YOU....looking at your boobs.
"I could never have all that"or "I would want to remain flat",after I decided on a DIEP
OR...."yes,you are so lucky to get rid of your tummy,wish I could have the same"
Fact is,op has not been entirely successful,have chronic seroma,and will probably remain with a big tummy for ever....that is another story.
Oh yes,am NOT BRAVE,nor is it a BATTLE😊 rant over.....X

"you look so great with no hair! I think you should keep that look!"
Not having hair has been extremely stressful on my marriage. Keeping this look would probably end it. Of course, this person has no way of knowing that, and stating an opinion isn't stupid, but I really wish they'd kept this opinion to themselves.

I'm not sure this is a stupid comment, but it's most definitely an insensitive one: I was talking to my (body-image obsessed, even at 76) mother the other day, telling her that reconstruction was going well and next on the to-do list is fake nipples. Her response was, "Well, the next time you're dating someone that will be a good test of his unconditional love. He would have to love you unconditionally." Thanks mom!

Your mom is a gem! She sounds like the true test of unconditional love herself. She will be rather surprised at good reconstructed nipples look too.

Cheesequake, stare her down, and ask her to join you. Maybe she would like no hair as well. Hating this crap and stupid people...........
Another favorite of mine was, "is that your wig"? No just a really shaggy looking hat, bite me! In 58 years I have never been a blonde until I had to BUY it.

Oh, how did you manage to not ask her what kind of reconstruction she plans for her manners ?!?! They are obviously in dire need of an overhaul ! I had double mastectomy and also don't plan on reconstruction. Call it healthy self-esteem that we can be content with getting the cancer out. ( and anyway I bet your mirror is happier than hers.) Can't you just imagine the bumper stickers spoofing the " my grandkids are cuter than your grandkids " ? it would go " my mirror image is cuter than your mirror image " . Something like that.

bobogirl re:potato soup.Would've been funny to watch brother's reaction after saying," oh but the lab is still trying to pinpoint EXACTLY which ingredient caused my cancer."0

Tell 'em, Cancer is caused by associating with stupid people.

I still can't believe what my friend just told me..... I don't even know how to react. I'm 38 and my friend 34. She wants to get married and have kids, but no luck yet. We were talking about life and death, all kind of things. So she tells me : " please can you do me a favor -WHEN you dye and you see the God , please can you ask him to send for me a good husband and kids". So looks like now she will be waiting for me to dye as soon as possible because she desperately wants to create a family.

WOW, Ruska. I'm speechless. The self-absorption is strong!
A few weeks ago I learned that an acquaintance works as a researcher at a local cancer center. She offered to give me a tour of her lab, and at the end she introduced me to her boss. He started asking me about the specifics of my cancer, and when I mentioned that I have Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, he said, "that's a shame, you seem really smart, it will be a shame to lose you."
Just...wow!!

Cheesequake, I wish I was a rude person and could answer her back. But I didn't . Just why, why people are like that....
0 -
because they lack empathy, insight, gray matter, kindness, foresight, disconnect between brain and mouth...........stupid
0 -
Because they were hungry and chose to open mouth insert foot? I would have been speechless...I am at a point when people look at me with a pity look when asking how I am I smile and say "Fine, I am feeling great" . AND if they start talking about somebody with cancer I walk away....Rude but effective
