breast cancer roller coaster

I actually went through a few days of feeling that I just didn't want to be labelled as Cancer Chick.... so, @Cassina  I get it. At it's worst if felt like I had a whopping big sign over my head saying "Cancer!!! Beware!!! Treat with kid gloves!!!!". I can laugh about it today, might not be able to laugh tomorrow.  Sending hugs your way and the only practical thing I can suggest is that you try being as open with everyone as you can. They need to find a way to cope too. I hope the one who said you were fat is feeling a bit mortified, it's very easy to be unthinking and blurt out all sorts of rubbish but that was pretty bad.
