Hi PETA:):) Over the years,there have been many posts on why some people seem to ignore,or be put out,when someone has a cancer diagnosis.I feel there is no right answer,the only thing that we know,is that it hurts:( For me,that is where this blog comes into play!!! Use this blog daily,if you need to.Share your feelings,your fears,your ups and downs,and DONT let the people who are so ignorant that they have no idea how you are really feeling ... upset you !!!! Lean on the friends and family that are supporting you,and ignore the rest!!! Try not to worry about having your breast removed.I had my right one removed also.It is not as bad as you think,and the pain is actually minimal!! Stay in touch PETA:) Cheers Robyn xox
