New secondary diagnosis

How lucky are we as women that we can express our thoughts and love to our friends so openly. The gorgeous man in my life clearly couldn't deal with the news I received last week so he just didn't make any contact with me for two days. The first contact he made was by text saying " thai baht is only 29 now and we were getting 31" He seemed genuinely surprised that I didn't respond. We celebrated the end of a challenging year with a trip for two to Thailand in April this year and clearly the thought of us getting a better deal on the exchange rate was way more important than my recent news :) Sometimes I think we need to start a post about the silly things people say to cancer patients. My oncologist once told me I was the woman for the job to publish a book about what not to say to cancer patients after I told her a work colleague told me " you're lucky to have BC." This was the same colleague who questioned why I should be approved to have a Friday off work to have a weekend away when " you have just had 11 months off... Why should you get any more time off." Clearly she was jealous of the fantastic 41/2 star surgical and chemo resorts I had spent my 11 months holidaying in. I just wish I had travelled to Thailand for that medical holiday. Maybe I would of got a better boob job over there. The one I got here was so botched by the surgeon I was left with nothing lol Have a great night everyone Mel xxx

I'm lucky to have a fantastic hubby and two wonderful adult sons so its not all bad and I've got my "pink sisters" now as well!

You say such lovely things Mich! XXLove Al xxx

I'm so sorry to hear that you have encountered such negativity with your close family members. It must be very hard for you to be going through thr challenges of BC without lots of close family support I hope that those involved will quickly move to change things for you Mel xxx

We were'nt sisters by birth but we knew from the start that fate brought us together to be sisters by heart.Unknown.Lots of love to all my pink sisters but a world full of thanks to my special pink sister Mel..........Mich xoxoxoxo

It is lovely to find that special pink friend which I have done and I can now say I have more than one!  Take care Mel and don't forget to stay positive and blog away. The support is always here. Love Al xxx

Agreed! I'm sure there would be some very uplifting stories to hear Mel. I personally have had some pretty negative issues with close family members so for me it helps immensely to hear positive experiences. It tends to make me only concentrate on the special people in my life who are keeping me on a positive track.

Thanks Vicki You are soooo right Each one of us are special... Sometimes it takes another pink sister to lift us up so we can see how special we are as individuals and as women who have been touched by BC. None of us would choose to rewalk the BC path again im sure but how blessed are we to be able to meet so many amazing special pink sisters along the way It has to be one of the most positive experiences along the way. Maybe we should start a post on the positive ways BC has changed our lives.
