Silly things people have said to you
I just thought I would start a post about silly things people have said to you or told you as you have been on this BC journey.
This has started after I read a letter to the editor if the Sunday Telegraph implying BC is the "sexy" cancer.
A work colleague told me when I returned to work after 11 months of treatment "you're lucky as you got to have all that time off work"..... Clearly I was living the life of luxury drinking cocktails on the beach.
What silly or insensitive comments have people made to you ???

Hi jocee -loved the new word invention of 'lesbianic' -it sounds like some form of weird worship rather than a lifestyle choice!
I think we could invent new words too -'how are you feeling?' -'brordinary' (broken/ordinary) - let's try a few!!
My hair is still very thinnish and salt/pepper grey -it was long thick and mostly brown but a good friend said her mum had some amazing changes -from what mine is to dark brown curls (she used to be straight light brown) and had now got perfect ringlets in dark brown after 5 years! It's a little like a weird surprise waiting to see what will happen.
