Classic comments

It is interesting to hear what comments and reactions other people have had to having BC. I'm still not sure why people come out with "those" comments; If its because they don't think before they say it, or if they are unsure what to say or if they think that they are saying some thing that will 'make' you feel better or more relaxed with the situation. What ever the case, many of the comments are not needed and don't help with the what you are going through. Another great one, that I have had several times when referring to my double mastectomy and reconstruction, "oh well, I guess if you look at the bright side, you will have a couple of little perky ones at the end of it all". Yes, this is true and it's something I tell myself when I'm trying to look at all of the positive things on this journey... But I don't need to be told this by people that are just an aquaintence and not a close friend! You learn who your real friends are during times like these. Emma :)
