Thank you
Hi to all!
Of late I have found myself in a tangle with users of the forum that have an angry ant attitude. I get it totally that the diagnosis that is given is totally unexpected and hard to take and need to hit out but there's a right and wrong way to go about it.
It is totally unfair and I have become a little tired and jaded by it all and feel I need to bow out for awhile.
Thank you to all that have supported me and I know I have tried to impart knowledge and sensibility to others in return.
On a positive note I have just been through my review with the Breast Surgeon and gone back onto annual reviews after my recent hiccup so I am over the moon about that. I just need the Oncology part of it all to settle, both medical and gynaecology and I will be more than pleased.
Take care and please support where you can and if you're unhappy with something said then think about it before responding as we are all vulnerable at varying times and support BCNA with advocacy where you can

- onemargieMember@iserbrown. Perhaps do what @Summerhill38 has suggested that’s a good idea. You’ve given plenty of support to everyone and to be honest I must of missed what your talking about! I’m practically working full time now so I have less time to read all the posts. But you can just choose to read what you want to read and ignore the rest. Margie xx

Thankyou for a warm, knowledeable and calming voice. I shall miss your wisdom. Your support has been most appreciative over the past 12 months. Thankyou and may you continue to walk on a 12 month review path.
Take care and warmest wishes

<3 <3 <3 - Jane221MemberHi @iserbrown, I can completely understand why you need to step away for a bit. I totally admire your calm and warm approach and I know your wise counsel will be missed. The beauty of this site is the generous support so many give to others going through this foul ordeal and it needs to be a safe and respectful space, even if we don't all agree on everything. I do hope you will be back and am glad to hear you've had some good news. Jane xx
- RomlaMemberUnderstand - hope to see you back on the blog when you are able . xo
- arpieMemberSO glad to hear your good news @iserbrown and SO sorry to hear you are stepping back - as @lrb_03 said - hopefully not a long time.
I am on a few fishing forums & unfortunately, every now & then there are angry ants there too .... so fully understand where you are coming from :(
I've enjoyed your posts and will miss your wisdom - and wish you well.
Take care, hope to see you back some time soon xxxx - June1952MemberHi @iserbrown
Don't you leave now - we need you ! Your comments are always so caring and helpful.
I no longer receive any notifications of comments (my choice) so can go on blissfully and just read the posts I want to read without being drawn to negativity.
Yep, the 'angry ants' do gt me down as well, especially when ladies are truly trying to help each other.
Fantastic news on your health front.
Look forward to your quick return - along with some quotes and photos. Enjoy and relax with nature, as I am sure you will.
Sending big hugs
Summer <3 <3 <3 - kmakmMemberOh @iserbrown, I am so sorry to see you go! You've been such a great support to me. A wise calm voice. I understand why but you will be missed. I hope you'll come back and visit from time to time. Congratulations on your recent results. All the very very best. K xox
