Differing opinions

Struth Ruth!  I find it hard to comprehend that people can be so judgmental and darn right rude - how dare they pass a comment or dirty look or whatever!  Who made them so mighty! 
You are better than all of them @Blossom1961 - don't let them get you down

Take care

@Blossom1961 You poor thing. Your story is too familar to a lot of people dealing with all the lows that come from this disease. I attended the BCNA Conference in Adelaide last weekend & we had a brilliant speaker Dr Charlotte Tottman, physcologist, who also spoke candidly about her own story. She is a BC survivor so is going through her own battles as well as helping others through theirs. She was in the airport one day with her husband & heard a man call her a "she man". He didnt know she could hear him & Charlottle's hubbie didnt hear either but she wanted the ground to open up & swallow her as she felt so embarrassed & hurt. A lady in front of me started crying as she too has had that happen to her. Charlotte is a beautiful strong woman & it is a testament to her resilience, that she can speak about her story to try & help others. 
There are many cruel people in this world & maybe one day they will have a wife, daughter or mother going through cancer & then they will know what it's like. Try to be strong, my dear, as your friends & family are the ones that matter & those that have stood by you through this, will be your rock. love & hugs xx

So sorry to hear this has happened once, let alone twice, @Blossom1961 !  How bloody rude - it says more about THEM than you!  Rude & Intolerant mongrels!

Take care my friend - and have a wonderful weekend - hope it isn't too cold for you!  Stay warm & snug xx

Your'e a better person than I   @Blossom1961  I wouldn't have been able to keep my big mouth shut.   I hate rudeness and people passing judgement on others they don't know or even deign to understand.  All I can say is focus on those which love and adore you and keep you uplifted. I generally find people who do pass judgement have low self esteem about themselves.  If there is one thing I have learnt about this shit fest of a disease it is that I have made a point to try and remove all negativity from my life and surround myself with awesome people who make me laugh. Life's to bloody short to even give people like that any ounce of your mind space.   Big hugs from North Qld xox

What the....? When my hair grew back, I looked like a crazed poodle. Might have acted like one too if anyone had passed rude remarks in my hearing. What on earth is happening to common civility? I pass lots of clothes, hairdos, make up I personally don’t like but don’t feel
entitled to remark on, certainly not in front of the owner. It’s not passing judgement (they don’t have that knowledge or authority) it’s just plain rudeness and indifference.
