Hi to all!
Of late I have found myself in a tangle with users of the forum that have an angry ant attitude. I get it totally that the diagnosis that is given is totally unexpected and hard to take and need to hit out but there's a right and wrong way to go about it.
It is totally unfair and I have become a little tired and jaded by it all and feel I need to bow out for awhile.
Thank you to all that have supported me and I know I have tried to impart knowledge and sensibility to others in return.
On a positive note I have just been through my review with the Breast Surgeon and gone back onto annual reviews after my recent hiccup so I am over the moon about that. I just need the Oncology part of it all to settle, both medical and gynaecology and I will be more than pleased.
Take care and please support where you can and if you're unhappy with something said then think about it before responding as we are all vulnerable at varying times and support BCNA with advocacy where you can

Take care of yourself.
I have read those threads with disappointment, and unfortunately understand your need to step away, hopefully only for a while, not for good2 -
@iserbrown completely understand - people like that get you down. Congratulations on your recent good news too xo2

@iserbrown sorry we won't hear your voice of reason for a while , can totally understand you taking a break !
Hope your good news continues!
Take care & thanks for caring about others
Hope to hear from you again xx1 -
@iserbrown. Congrats on the good news. Please take comfort in knowing the amount of people that you have helped and inspired not the ones that are angry. I don't think they are angry at you really just the situation and you happened to be in the firing line at the time.
Take care lovely lady.

Yes I understand that the hit out wasn't personal. I am worn out by the angry ants. This is the third tangle in recent months where I am trying to help and console. I dislike conflict! Had enough!
Thanks for the support and wishing you wellness and better days with Tamoxifen.
Take care x1 -
Try not to let it get to you too much. Unfortunately, you can't help everyone. So glad you've had good news. Take care.2

Hi @iserbrown
Don't you leave now - we need you ! Your comments are always so caring and helpful.
I no longer receive any notifications of comments (my choice) so can go on blissfully and just read the posts I want to read without being drawn to negativity.
Yep, the 'angry ants' do gt me down as well, especially when ladies are truly trying to help each other.
Fantastic news on your health front.
Look forward to your quick return - along with some quotes and photos. Enjoy and relax with nature, as I am sure you will.
Sending big hugs
Summer

SO glad to hear your good news @iserbrown and SO sorry to hear you are stepping back - as @lrb_03 said - hopefully not a long time.
I am on a few fishing forums & unfortunately, every now & then there are angry ants there too .... so fully understand where you are coming from
I've enjoyed your posts and will miss your wisdom - and wish you well.
Take care, hope to see you back some time soon xxxx

Hi @iserbrown, I can completely understand why you need to step away for a bit. I totally admire your calm and warm approach and I know your wise counsel will be missed. The beauty of this site is the generous support so many give to others going through this foul ordeal and it needs to be a safe and respectful space, even if we don't all agree on everything. I do hope you will be back and am glad to hear you've had some good news. Jane xx4
