Nothing like a reality check . Well done because not everyone has a good ride and god its bloody hard to be positive all the time when for some de as th is a reality. None of us know which card we will get but we are all here for a reason and thats to share. Thanks for your share. Xxxadean
I agree Nadi, I hated all that rubbish about being positive & strong & made to feel guilty when I wasn't. I think it just helps our family & friends to deal with it when we are. I lost it so many times & cried a lot & then steadily felt better as time went on. Everyone has different ways of handling it & should be allowed to feel whatever they want without other people's opinions.
THANKYOU!!! You get it!!... They tell men to cry!! Yet if we BC women ( and men ) do, we are told to be strong! NO! We are Mums, we run households, some of us single handed! We are reliant on a job for income! We socialise! We run a committee!, We travel for what ever reason! And then oneday.... it's all gone!! No matter how much we tell ourselves that we will be able to juggle life and cancer... no, it doesn't happen that way. Prior to my BC, I watched a news clip about a model who refused to have her breasts off, and said she needed them for her income... and she had a little boy. I thought how selfish! She would rather risk it spreading because her boobs were her life!!... Sadly she didn't make it, and left her 6 yr old with family he didn't really know! .... We can either choose to deny and ignore, or we just give in and ride that bitch to the end, good, or bad, either way, our life becomes not our, we lose control over everything!
