astonished

Hey Girls,  after writing my post this morning and feeling far more positive than I have been feeling...I get a phone call from my only sibling, my older sister to find out that she is circling like  a vulture and is wait for it........jealous that I have breast cancer WTF.....she went around telling her family & friends years ago that she had ovarian cancer only for me to find out she had been lying all these years...the only reason she confessed was because I have to do the familial testing and she thought I would find out so she told me herself & today she rung and whinged and whined down the phone to me only to accuse me of "me making her get a divorce"!  Of course I just hung up on her....for God sake I'm sure that any one of us that are going through it would happily give it to her if that is what she wanted!

Sorry about the bitching but i'm so hurt & angry..

Brightest blessings,  Susan

    And you are one of us Susan.  So keep being amazing.  None of us needs negative energy in our lives.  I find I just try and chill out most of the time. (not good for the middle) but it sure is good for my soul.  If someone negative is about me I just move on - very quickly.  You are extremely brave embracing chemo - don't let anyone say any different.  Take care and put your anti-negative shield up.

    OMG who would have thought there are so many of us girls out there with such similar situations,  I have a wonderful family of my own with my husband and 6 kids so I know I can rely on all of them anyway.....but hey I guess it takes all kinds to make this world but i'm with you pink sisters,  stay as calm and as positive as can be as my chemo journey is about to start in the next few weeks!

    Brightest Blessings to you all, Susan  xxx

    Susan I am soooo glad you hung up. Just cut that sister cord.  WTF       

    We are your pink sisters here.

    Right on as Samantha says - let her know you need positive people around you at the moment. If you feel she is capable of doing something to help maybe make a suggestion.Otherwise hang up, cut that cord.  

    Wish you all the very best.

    I am so sorry that you have had this reaction from your sister....sometimes we don't know why some family & friends react the ay they do..perhaps she is scared of what u may have to endure thru treatment or losing you altogether?? i don't know. Perhaps you can get a message to her that you need to surround yourself with positive and supportive people and if she can't provide that for you it may be best she keeps clear until your well again. Its time for you to focus on yourself and I'm sure you will have many other family members and friends who can provide the support, love and caring you will need.Suggest this site to her for more information...if she follows thru and reads some of our stories she may begin to understand.

    Good luck

    Sam  :)
