Stupid things people say (this post is for giggles ;) )

So being new to this, i'm getting used to people saying those things that you look at them and just thing (What the hell???  also known as my now new favourite term WTF!)

So these are my two "What the" moments

1. After telling this one lady about my very early diagnosis and wide local excision and sentinel nodes, taking great care to explain that this is really a small lump and my surgeon is trying to take the most least invasive path as he can (with all reasonable and responsible care), she then offers up this question - "Should you have a double mastectomy just to be sure?"  

2. During my a recent chat with a friend where I was saying I just wish the surgery was sooner, she said to me "Do you think its gotten bigger?"   Because that wouldn't freak someone waiting, out. LOL  

 

You have to laugh!  Please share a giggle with your What The! moments.

    Ho All,

    one of my sisters told me I looked like the boogy man with no hair but that was topped by my insensitive husband telling me to put the wig on during romantic interludes!  I certainly told both of them where to go !! Sooo hurt my feelings .

    My sister the drama queen was my support person, so out of her mouth came the following fantastic encouragements:

    "when you die your sons won't need your home as daddies rich, so you can leave it to me" thought I heard wrong, but no, she repeated it till I told her it wasn't helping

    "maybe now you're dying your estranged son might come home" as if that didn't hurt enough anyway

    but the classic had to be while at my side for the first chemo "oh I can't bare to watch, does that feel like death racing through your veins?"

    seriously some people have no filter between their very small brain and their very big mouth. I traded her in as support person but I gotta keep her as a sister ??

    Hi Donna

    One of my WTF moments was when one of the mums at footy said to me "I couldn't possible go through what you are". Like you have a choice about it!  Lol I just laughed and said that the other option sucks even more. People really say some silly things. Karen xox
