Hhmmm I don’t feel very lucky, having breast cancer, outcomes might be better by comparison to other cancers, but I would feel lucky if I had also won a million dollars in lotto as well.2

Yes I have lots of reasons to feel grateful. I’m grateful that it was caught early, I’m grateful I have supportive family, I’m grateful that I can work part time and not be financially impacted, I’m grateful my pathology came back with ER positive results which means I’m tied to AIS for the next few years so that a recurrence is very low. Maybe I’m arguing about semantics of the meaning of words, but I don’t feel lucky that I have cancer. And maybe I’m feeling a bit depressed/upset/emotional as part of the side effects of these magic pills that will give me my life back, I guess I’m just venting a bit, which is something I don’t normally do either. I wish you all the best with your recovery and hope all will be well for you.4

Of course. Vent away. Ive been through various stages. For the longest time I felt only gratitude and love but then that ended. Its a shitty situation for us all. It is unlucky to have breast cancer for sure. We can only feel what we feel. All of it is valid.6

Yep - vent if you want to - safe space here.
AIs? They suck. The cancer might be completely gone so you take them without need. You may take them and the cancer comes back anyway. You may feel so bloody miserable on them that you decide quality of life is better without, or not worth it at all. You may decide not to take them, be living a great life, and the cancer comes back to bite you. Where's the win? Damned if you do, etc...
Aren't I a little ray of sunshine?8 -
What has happened to empathy?
A friend on reading something i wrote has tried to turn it all into positives. Hooray its great that you can rest and recouperate.
Would be nice for her just to say - yeah thats shit hope you feel better soon.
I told a specialist that i wasnt fond of chemo and he said dont worry we will get you through it very positively. I tbought how? This was first appt id had with him in 3 mths.
Ive no doubt done the positive thing myself. Some things are just shit and you cant make them themselves positive.

Yup...you can put lipstick on a pig....but it's still a pig.5

Some people want to comfort you and some people want to fix you...all very nice, but I’d rather people just listen when I’m having a bad day...yes being empathetic is probably the most helpful way to be...going for a core biopsy on my good one today. I’m sure it will be benign, but at the moment, I’m feeling like here we go again...just sayin’3
