Sense of humour

At the same time as my Cancer situation this year, my husband's best friend died, and so between myself, and a grieving widow,  ( who is still struggling with her loss of course), we have had lots of delicate feelings to consider.  This year has been the worst year we have ever had.  At times I have been a little over zealous with my, well Im ok now, so lets all be happy, attitude.

One of the ladies on BCNA let me know that not every one is in my situation, some dont have the good news, some dont have a future, or some just cant spring back.  I was not offended by her message, in fact, I really understood it, because although I have the "All Clear" today, doesnt mean I think its all done and dusted for me.  Especially being a triple negative, and did have counselling to get my head right, (at the end of all the chemo and rads), so I could be positive at this stage, go back to work and try to get some money in the bank.

I learnt a big lesson this week, at some stage any one of us can say the wrong thing at the wrong time, or just say something without thought.   I just get on here each day with one goal, to make new ladies feel like we understand.

 I hope from now on, I will remain mindful that some-times, a sense of humour, is all we have left!
