    If you ever see that ass hole again, say, may the fleas from 1000 camels attack your crotch, and your arms be too short to scratch.  

    Or as SAS said, STFU

    Sas.. Mommyof2... spookiesmom..

    All I managed was a "Hmmm, thankyou so much for that" with the look of a stunned mullet. My friend had a face like thunder. Yes, maybe this cancer of mine will be a killer, 'cept it wont be me it kills if you say anything like that again in front of him!

    Spookies - I've written down ur camel retort, think I may have to get me a notebook soon 😊

    Wambles, you reacted like a stunned mullet b/c you are a polite human being that wouldn't intentional hurt someone. You are brand new to the world of cancer. This idiot sounds like your first encounter with what we call a Stupid. A Stupid is someone that will say something hurtful to another. Now one has the right to do this. No one has the right to make any statement to you, or about you, or about cancer that causes emotional pain.

    This is something we learn here on BCO is how to respond to a Stupid.

    There a whole threads dedicated to dealing with Stupids. I'll link a few. I said STFU to that Stupid I was dealing with b/c that was in my fifth year of dealing with two cancers(BC and Thyroid) and a pre-cancer brain tumor. When I was first diagnosed, I reacted the same way you did. Totally stunned that I was dealing with idiots that let fly out of their stupid mouths anything that crossed their stupid minds.

    From this experience you will learn that when someone is so callous in regard to your feelings, you can respond with some very good zingers. A true Stupid won't get it. But just may be some do.

    So you are reading the pages here. Good material for dealing with Stupids.

    this link is to---  Topic: You know you're a cancer patient when....  this thread really has oodles of stories that are outrageous.

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/67/topic/755825?page=1

    This link is to: Topic: OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid  The first 106 pages will have you rolling on the floor. After that many of the original folks left and it became more of just a social thread. It never was as funny after that. Around page 42 someone said we would "Go to hell because we made fun of Breast cancer. You are nothing , but a bunch of cackling hens" The post was deleted. But there were a number of us that saw it before it was deleted. The reason I mention this is, when you read OMG and you start to see all the chicken references and pics, you will understand why.

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/102/topic/765586?page=1

    This link is to; Topic: Warm & fuzzy owls, goats, kitties, dogs, birds ETC. PICS . I started this thread. It's fun stuff.

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/102/topic/818346?page=188#idx_5633

    this link is to; topic Pinktober Revolution. I started this thread too.

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/102/topic/791442?page=1

    There's one more I'm thinking of, but it's not in my FAVS Check back here to see if I've added the link. Yay, Found it :) This thread has gone inactive, but there's 300 some pages about STUPIDS. Not sure why Shrek deleted her topic box statement?

    Link to: Topic: The dumbest things people have said to you/about you

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/102/topic/744439?page=1

    Hugs, you will become a shark when dealing with a STUPID. sassy

    Hi

    Thankyou, Sas for the links!! I'm guessing there's six months of reading right there.. Brilliant :)

    I think I may have inadvertently given the wrong impression. I am indeed new to this site, but I was diagnosed initially in 2010, with a grade 1 IDC, no nodes. I had 2 lumpectomies, radiation and tamoxifen. I took myself off tamoxifen, as I couldn't cope with the SEs.

    I'm here now because I was diagnosed with recurrence in May this year. This time round I had a double mastectomy with no recon and I've just begun Zolodex and Arimidex (approx a month ago) whilst I wait in the NHS queue for an oophorectomy. I'm 47.

    So no, I'm not new to BC but yes I am new to the kind of comments I experienced this week. I must just have been lucky I guess.

    So sorry again if I've given anyone the wrong idea. I thought id filled my profile in, but I'm very technologically challenged, and I only have my mobile, no PC, laptop etc so I could well have done a doo dah..

    And thankyou again for the links, I KNOW I'm gonna get a chuckle from them, along with some jaw dropping moments.. Much appreciated.

    W xx

    Looking through some of the posts on the links sas left has jolted my memory on something that happened a couple of weeks ago when I had my nuclear bone scan.

    I went into the scanning room and thought I should mention that I was wearing breast forms, as I'd had no instructions on wether these should be removed or not.

    The technician looked at me and said "yes, maybe you should remove them. Are they under the skin?"

    Obviously, this didnt cheeze me off, instead it gave me a much needed giggle.

    Bless that technicians lil heart :)

    Wambles, next time some man says something stupid to you, just say"Well, aren't you the dog's bollocks?" Sorry to hear about your recurrence but I know what you mean about the SE's. 

    Which brings me to a question. When I see the onc. on Wed., I'm going to have to change AI's again. So this means I've had Tamoxifen, Arimidex and Femara. Can't take the SE's of any of them. So, I guess that leaves Aromasin. Anybody on that or had experience with it? The SE's from Femara are crippling and I'm afraid some might become permanent. Advice anyone?

    OK, my scarecrow (Obnoxious Otis) is dressed for Pinktober. I took a fabric marker and crossed out "Save the TaTas" and wrote in "SAVE OUR LIVES." Got the idea from aunt_paula. tHANKS! On the other side of the shirt it says "Pink Stinks! Make Donations, Not T Shirts!'  Now bring it on, HOA nazis!!!!!!!

    My mom just called me and asked me what our plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas are. I told her that we are staying home and having the holidays here, she got upset with that. As much as I love my family, I am tired of the drama and bull that they put out!

    Wambles, that person's behavior is beyond words. You are obviously an incredibly respectful person not to have handed him his head.

    Hi

    I'm on Arimidex (or should I say WAS, till yesterday) Started with the metallic taste in the mouth and feeling sick within 2 hours of the first pill going down the hatch.

    I stuck with it a whole 8 DAYS! Yes, I know, that's wimpy but heck, I was at the point where I was vomiting every hour on the hour a cpl of nights ago.

    I was previously on Tamoxifen and had to come off for much the same reason 4 years ago. Yes, I got a recurrence this may, but my onc assures me that no one can be sure WHAT caused it, and it probably wasn't coming off tamoxifen.

    I am planning on continuing with the zolodex shots until such time I can be scheduled for an oophorectomy (I have my 1st gynae appointment to get this in motion this coming Wednesday) and I have to trust that the ooph will be sufficient as a preventative measure as I really cannot take any hormonal pills.

    They are toxic to me

    Now I'm waiting for my smart ass mother to tell me to countdown to my next recurrence, to which I shall reply - countdown to my next phone call mizz haughty knickas, you'll be counting forever.

    Huggles

    rohanna, there's a thread called "Life on Aromasin." Also, I believe I've seen a member named lago talk about switching to Aromasin.

    Thanks for the sites you posted, I needed the laughs today. My husband went off on a 6 week trip with his guy friends this week and I met my MO and he told me he treats a lot of cancers and us women have too much drama to our breast cancer, and my RO can't decide how deep and how many boosters directly on my nipple less breast he should go. He wants five but does not think my breast can handle it.My cancer site was just smack under the nipple with barely clear margins.I got Mastitis and tender burns all over my breast. I still have another week then the boosts will happen. I already have fibrosis and I know the end results of radiation is just going to compound it.I'm tempted to have one boost then skip the rest but the fear of what if... Pops up.

    Since I am post menopausal (56years old),he wants me to start on arimidex but I want to go straight to aromasin. He says insurance companies won't accept this as first line of treatment... So I guess I'll have to call the insurance company myself. I don't know who I'm most upset with, my husband or the MO. Do you think I should Dump the MO and get a new one or am I just being sensitive?

    Just a bad week and no one to complain to...

    Thanks for the sites:)

    Golilly--dump the MO. Too bad you couldn't vise grip his testicles, repeat his statement with word substitution and see what he says Singing

    Ro, I tried Arimidex>>Femara>>Aromasin. I was able to stay on the Aromasin the longest, but then quit when SE's were too much.

    Doc is probably right.  Arimadex is Tier 1, so "preferred" on my plan.  Aromasin is tier 2, and would cost $160 a month on my HMO.

    I don't know about anybody else, but I really want to see a picture of rohanna's scare crow!!

    wambles - sorry to hear you have so much trouble with the pills.  I have a history of having trouble taking anything related to hormones and my MO does not have me taking anything.  I hope you are doing well on the zolodex shots.

    Something cheezed me off today so now I feel compelled to share...I am trying to get into exercising and have been easing into it by riding the stationary bike...I've only been doing 20 minutes and there is pretty much no resistance on it right now since I just started.  I did 30 minutes today and pedaled a little faster (still no inclines or hard pedaling) and now my knee has been hurting all day.  Argh!!  I'm not giving up, but I probably need to start doing my knee/leg exercises now so I can try to get to some "real" exercise.  It would be nice to just bike without my knee hurting or walk without my foot hurting.  If I were a member of the Y I think I would take up swimming instead!

    On top of my mom throwing a fit because we aren't going anywhere for the holidays, my idiot FIL calls us yesterday to tell us that there is going to be a 50th birthday party for hubby's younger brother this week. We live an hour away from them and they seem to think that we can just drop everything to be at their beck and call all the time. The idiots planned the party for Thursday evening when they know that my hubby has to work the next day! On top of it, its being held at my BIL's girlfriend's house and I can't stand her or her mother! My MIL and FIL treat her like she is their DIL and I am not!

    Hi ladies

    Mel, thankyou.. I get my second shot tomorrow and so far so good.. Slight "warmth" but nothing I cant handle..

    Mommyof2, Ask for them to send you a cab, and to pay for it there and back. If not, you ain't going nooooowhere ;)

    I was having my MRI this morning, and whilst I'm the waiting area, there was a group of 3 b**Ching about the info forms you have to fill in before the scans. Bare in mind this is where everyone goes for CT and MRI's (ie, high chance of a sprinkling of cancer patients)

    One of the guys looked at his friend and said, I quote: "Why do they ask if you have a history of cancer? No ones gonna have that, they'd be dead".

    My friend and I looks at each other wide eyed before I said, before I could stop myself "Well I do, and I'm not dead".

    3 pairs of eyes immediately looked down to the floor, whilst my friend and I tried our hardest to giggle quietly.

    Good Grief!!

    You got that right Spookie!

    Wish you gals would have been here last night when he called his dad, my response to this call was "Now what do they want?" And the hilarious thing is I said it out loud and I hope FIL heard it! Hubby told me as soon as he got off the phone with his dad that he wasn't going anyway because they never came to hubby's 50th last year when I threw one while still on chemo, so why should we go to his brother's. The only time they want anything to do with us when they want something.

    Don't get me wrong there are people in hubby's family I do get along with, just not his parents or siblings!

    I have no use for any of his 4 brothers. They won't come visit us, why should I go see them? The only reason one ONE! came to DDs wedding is because DH went for all 3 of his kids.  A thousand miles one way.  When I took my moms ashes up to bury over Thanksgiving, not one of them invited me and DD to dinner. Yeah, love 'em all. NOT

    My Dad didn't speak to his sisters for over 10 years. They would send a Christmas card and he would write 'Return to Sender' in his very identifiable handwriting and send it back. I think there was some sort of thaw after years. He was 52 when the offense occurred and in his 80's before the thaw.

    I'm in complete shock . My "friend" totally annihilated me and I don't know if I can forgive this one

    I'm an idiot. I don't get my annual pap smears. Totally stupid, I know

    Anyhows , No, I've tried tamoxifen & anastrozole, and I wont be trying any others. These drugs are toxic to me

    Point being .. If I'm not willing to help myself, don't expect anyone else to give a **ck..

    I'm so demoralised right now..
