Is that right? Did you really say that?

Good on you for getting fitter ..... the only exercise I do is my kayak fishing ...... or I may walk the beach (but only with a fishing rod in hand - so it may take a while to reach the end! LOL I haven't beach fished in years!)
Yep, it is a hard slog - hopefully getting easier with each passing year! Let us know how your physio goes. hugs back xx1 -
It’s hard from strangers and worse from so called friends.
i had a friend I thought would be there for me say
”Aren’t you Done with the boob thing yet”
WTF.. people can be just weird and insensitive.0 -
Well @Hoppe thats one 'friend' sorted into the delete bin. Don't mourn their loss. There is plenty of support here. It's very sad that we find out when we really need them, who is really a true friend. Her loss not yours. Keep your pecker up and do what you have to do. Your #1 main priority is you. Take care5

I have just been diagnosed and we lift share to sports so,we told a couple of the families that we may be a bit preoccupied, need help etc, one of the mums took hubby aside and asked him how serious is it and is she going to die...
not the best timing!0 -
@Loobylou Sorry you're in the same boat as us. You'll find lots of support here. I had one comment similar to yours. The day I got my diagnosis I got a phone call from an old friend, and he said, "I won't ask any questions." Then two minutes later, he said, "Actually, I do want to ask - how bad is it?"
Hopefully you won't get too many more like that.
All the best. Hugs. Fran1 -
Oh good grief @Loobylou! Some people have no idea of the concept of a time and a place... To be sure the question came from a place of concern, and definitely blissful ignorance of how a BC diagnosis works, but the knee jerk question to your husband... how insensitive. Sad to say I've had people ask me that question to my face. Literally "what's your prognosis?" I get the curiosity but I simply do not understand the lack of filter that allows you to say, "so are you going to die?"... FFS!0

Am going to my youngest grandson's second birthday party today, at my son's place. The only other guests will be his "in-laws": partner's parents, aunt & uncle, sister & brother and their partners & kids. All insensitive and not very bright, always spouting unsubstantiated rubbish & statistics to support their political bias, expecting no different opinion. I'm anticipating questions to me akin to the "back to normal" concept. Not looking forward to it - after a night of swollen and sore joints in my right hand and my torn "tendonitised" achilles puffed up - reduced only slightly by ice. I shall try to keep myself nice, but if I've had enough, I'll just say I'm in pain and come home.0

I dunno Fran, I'd rather be trepanned without anaesthetic than attend I kids party and bombastic numpties bring out the worst in me. You're a stronger woman than I; I'd either play the cancer card an hour before the party or get pissed in the middle of the afternoon and lurk in the corner giving everyone the stink eye.5

@kmakm @Zoffiel All over. The worst was the brother re the Bunnings teepee in the back yard "Of course you can't say 'teepee' or 'Indian' these days. It's not PC. You never know what you can say these days." I did manage to get the upper hand over the lunch table when they started commenting on European politics (about which I am an expert) - so I let them have it both barrels about the facts and they were silent for quite a while! Also had a couple of glasses of Australian white bubbls (which they call 'champagne'). So am now home and feeling relaxed.7
