Once again, I cant understand how every one is feeling, or as you put it, being optimistic about stage 4, is indeed an entirely different point of view. It is important, that I have caused this response from you, because it wakes me up to the reality of what a lot of other women are experiencing - that I havent. (to date)
I am a sure that I cant understand what you could be going through, and I guess my broad sweeping comments arent appropriate for all instances. I do mean well, because my main aim is to encourage ladies to fight, and give hope. For those who dont have that, I am sorry and it is an area I haven reached as yet. As a Triple Negative, who has her portal in her chest, I always have a chance it can come back also.
Precisely why at the Cancer Council we quickly discovered that the "Coffee and Chat" fell into a variety of cases too at one table. One day a lady visited and brought out the photo's of the coffin she was decorating with her grand children, for example. On that day, there was a teenage girl at the table, so its always a mindfield of emotions. 2 ladies said they werent coming any more, and that girl didnt return. So, there is a clear need to have similar situations in the same room! (tricky)
Thank you for reminding me, and I will be more aware of other situations from now on....take care Deb
