Being poked with needles.

These postings have me laughing so hard my numb BMX chest is starting to feel some pain - in fact now that the numbness is easing...the pain is starting....my best one was from my co-worker who has gone through lump. and all the poisins and just stopped taking her 5 years of drug therapy saying to me: I don't envy you at all!!!!! Well that was encouraging....that is why I made a personal decision to wait until after my daughter's wedding in June and her shower in April to do anything other than alternative treatment. Trying to get quality of life before the issues really start. And yes, I know, you are suppose to start conventional treatment within 12 weeks from surgery. Well, my choice, my body - which btw doesn't feel that great now so I can just imagine after treatment....Good Luck to all my sisters ((((hugs)) P.S. And yes, I am sick of everyone's advice and telling me I will be fine...how the hell does anyone know????

I'm tired of people saying, "it's just hair. It Will grow back.". Ok, let's shave your head and let me say these exact things to you!!!
-
I think I posted this before, but my mother, who has been through cancer and chemo herself, keeps telling me, in a low conspiratorial tone, that my nails will fall out. She had taxo and did not lose her nails, so why is she bloody well insisting that I will lose mine.
-
OMG Seagrover! I feel ya sister! It's so much different when you are on this end of it.
-
I know its been said before, but I'm sick and tired of not having hair. Tired of having to figure out what I'm gonna wear on my head every day!
Peace, Everyone!
-
Ditto beegee! I'm only 3 weeks pfc and can't WAIT until I have hair back. Only someone who has been through it can truly understand. ((hugs))
-
I am sick and tired of the FEAR!!!!!!!, fear that my body won't heal properly after surgery, Fear that I won't be able to handle the SE of the medications, Fear that I will never be the same as before BC, Fear that I will never be happy again, laugh care free, smile without feeling scared. Fear that it will come back. Fear that I will die from BC. FEAR, FEAR, FEAR I'm just so tired of being scared
-
One more hair related one.. sick and tired of the daily headache from this damn wig! Too loose it moves... tight enough to stay put gives me a headache. Ugh...
Chemo took my hair 15 days after my first treatment. Isn't it only fair I get it back 15 days after treatment is over?! But then again.. nothing about bc is fair. Fu bc! -
I have to say that I'm sick and tired of the TE. Every day I wake up in pain. Given the choice again, I would NOT do it this way. I'm tired of being tired all the time. And then people reminding me that it could have been so much worse. I realize that but I still had both of my breasts cut off due to cancer and it sucks! I have to take a medicine for the next 5 years that is putting my body through hell and that sucks too! (((HUGS))) to everyone!

Whine whine and the PS says I get no wine no cheese to go with this attitude and they wanna cut off my pain meds,dam girlfriend ...madame doctor,lets chop off your breasts and then tell you after a week you should be fine with one f.......g tylenol!!!!
-
and I am sick of everyone using the word "cancer" in every conversation with me....really sick of that....I already told a dear friend of mine at work to tell everyone at the office when I come back to work not to ask me anything that includes the word "cancer" in it....uggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Oh, my heart goes out to you ladies!! I am not losing my hair (I'm on CMF), and if I were it would make this so much worse.
As for me, I'm sick of needles. Sick of IVs, sick of blood draws, sick of the Neupogen injection every other day, sick of the pain. I still have at least 5 blood draws, 2 IVs and 18 shots to go.... :-(

Hugs xxxxxxx -
oh man im so sick and tired of worrying about staying alive and being scared.Every ache scares me its been 5 months out of from chemo and rads.I hope this fear gets better with time. Im also tired of people telling me so an so or my mom or my sister had the same thing oh yea they always are death storys. Geezhh peeps like this is what someone trying to survive cancer wants to hear.I guess they are just trying to relate but man it cuts me deep. I do hair so its like one customer after the other. I really love when i hear a survival story ( which is not often enough lol)
-
Im tired of being tired.
told someone that cancer patients don't wear cancer signs the other day in reply to the you look great comment. I'm usually so sweet and polite, not sure why I said that, but really....?
-
Very few people know what to say and what they say comes out wrong....I've had enough of those comments...they mean well, but sometimes you just wanta scream!!!
-
Sick and tired of being just that ... SICK and TIRED.
-
Tired of everyone around me "counting on you to beat this" and you "look so much better than before your diagnosis". Well, newsflash, idiots, counting on me is not going to work because I have ZERO control over the future, and thanks for reminding me of that! And yes, I have lost 40 lbs but I had to lose both my breasts, and my hair, and have poison pumped into my veins for four months straight, not to mention two blood transfusions just to really spice it up! There are MUCH easier ways to lose weght, but thanks for pointing out the silver lining of my BC. Ignorant people really piss me off.
-
Sick and tired of being sick and tired!
-
I'm sick and tired of my big toes being so sore, inflamed, swollen, infected, oozing, etc. because of the drugs I am on! They hurt constantly and nothing I do seems to make much difference.
-
Its been 4 years since Dx and I am still always so tired.I just hate feeling like this every day.
-
I just say, "So far, so good". NOTHING anyone can say is right, everything pisses you off. Finally figured that out after 13 years!
Gentle hugs, Shirlann

Not being able to have a bad day without someone wanting to throw a pill at me.

GR4C1E.... I love it! Sense of humor is awesome!
And I'll add.. Sick and tired of people asking "so,they got it all? Are you cancer free now? ". I reply, maybe as cancer free as you might be. No guarantees. -
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and scared.
I'm also sick of people who don't understand that a stage IV metser isn't going to be "all better". I didn't break my arm! I have metastatic cancer.
Everyone also tells me how good I look. How healthy I look. Well, I looked healthy and I was being eaten alive by cancer and was in the worst pain I've ever had, so "looking good" means very little when it comes to my actual status.
-
Lately, I am a bit tired of people feeling it is caring and reasonable to demand gory details of my treatment. I had a hysterectomy, so I say I had a minor surgery, but they want to know what kind, and why and exactly what was cut out and yadda-yadda.

Been told that people get cancer because they live a bad lifestyle
