So im writing this just to get it out. I dont really expect a solution. Apologise in advance if the un pc nature of this is not nice. I am getting a counsellor soon. Ive been aware all along that ...
Maybe its in the timing, telling someone they are lucky to have breast cancer as opposed to other cancers in the middle of chemo or following painful surgery or invasive testing isn't terribly smart.
Emotions are roller-coaster. I dont feel lucky to have or had cancer. I sometimes feel gratitude it isn't worse, that I found it, that there is treatment. I get the sentiment.
Same with comments about menopause symptoms. Not fun. Not a joke.
