doesn't it just irritate the hell out of you

when you take one of those health assessment surveys (I've done two in the last 6 months, one for my insurance company and one for my gym), and they come back and rate you high for stress?  LOL Frankly, I'd like to see that computer program deal with breast cancer and not have SOME stress.  I thought I was dealing with it pretty well, honestly. 

I wish I could argue with someone but it's no use trying to talk sense to a computer program LOL

    LOL!  I also like the health assessment surveys that tell me that I'm at high risk for breast cancer!  Duh--I could have told you that without the survey.  I rate high on stress, too but I'm pretty sure I'm doing ok with it--maybe not stellar coping but I'm functional and can recognize when I'm over-reacting to things, most of the time.  I think they need a separate stress scale for cancer treatment survivors.  (I say cancer TREATMENT survivors because I think the treatment is more problematic that the diagnosis alone--treatment is almost worse than the disease in my mind).

    I agreeYell 

    I don't like that word - treatment -  I think ice cream cones and trips to warm climates in January are treatments...chemo, surgery, etc....not a nice treat!!  I always tell people, "I felt fine until I started getting "treatments".
