    *sigh* You don't need asparagus or some bububala berry found only in Mozambique to cure cancer.

    Don't cha guys know all it takes is positive thoughts?

    Which implies, naturally, that we all got cancer because we weren't thinking 'positively enough' all along.

    Wishful thinking, but someday when someone says that to me I'd like to punch them in the face. Then say "well that happened because you weren't thinking positively enough".

    *sigh* /vent off.

    Doggiebytes, ah yes. I had that one too. And the friend who was causing me all the negativity was her :-)

    Another friend said to my face, after I told her about my chemo and blood tranfusion: " I have problems at work, but at least I don't have your kind of problems." Oh yeah, I choose my friends carefully as you can see :-)) I smiled while the only thing I wanted to do was to kick her.

    Shyly: is it too late for some of that Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee? How about if I do a hula in an asparagus skirt and a bacon bra in exchange?

    how about the people who tell you it's all in your attitude and you're not thinking positively enough? Being told to fight harder while being in chemotherapy for the last 6 plus years makes me nuts

    Kitty, I didn't have chemo but I still got that a lot. And the comment - "Just get on with your life - you are alive and still here." 5 years out this next month and I have just finished my 7th surgery. My life will never be the same.. and I try to get on with it - then doc appts for ONC, GP, PS, PT, LET..... oh and don't forget the labs and mammogram. need I go on?

    On the bright side - I have been taking pictures out my home office window sitting at my desk. These two pictures I just need to share to brighten everyones day.

    I had someone make the most insensitive, thoughtless comment to me yesterday...someone who knows I've been through treatment for BC. My hair is growing back and it's basically a pixie style right now. I am thrilled with how much it's grown in the last couple of months. A woman I work with made the comment ...."I wish you would grow your hair out. I don't like you with short hair, you don't even look like yourself". Really? How do you think I feel, not recognizing myself in the mirror every day? Do you think I chose to have my hair fall out from chemo? I was floored and actually walked away with tears rolling down my cheeks.

    Creative, I am so sorry that happened to you; I would have cried also!

    I was out to dinner with my DD and SIL, and SIL asked if he could post a pic he took of us in the restaurant on Facebook. Yes, my 'pixie cut' is very short, but it does look like a style finally...or so I like to think. So, while I have kept any mention of bc off of FB, I told my SIL it was ok to post the pic. And I thought it would be: until one of my cousins who has no filter (and who doesn't know about the bc) posted a reply: "Looks like fun...now what the hell did (insert my name here) do to her hair?"

    It would have been a rude remark in ANY circumstances, whether I had bc or not, and of course the same is true for that idiot you work with. Yes, I had my SIL remove the post right away. It hurt.

    Hugs to you. People really are stupid sometimes.

    Octo, Our hair is thankfully growing out... but stupid can't be fixed.... Or maybe stupid people just refuse to learn and change.

    My friends no longer seem to understand me and how I feel. If one more of them implies that the issues we are having with our oldest son are due to our parenting... I might just smack them. His depression, which was made worse by my diagnosis, is why he is still home and not at college.

    I feel for all of you reporting stupid comments. What ignorant people there are in the world.

    The hair thing is so hard - I felt crazily it was the worst part of treatment. So public and available for people to comment. Most may have been well meaning but I didn't want to hear about how they loved my new short, grey, curly, unchosen, old granny look. I didn't and couldn't wait for it to be a thing of the past. One woman told me quite directly that I should never dye my hair as she loved the colour. Then why didnt she colour her blonde highlighted hair grey herself! I had a style and color I didn't choose and was absolutely sure I wasn't going to keep.

    I am now back to my shoulder length light brown hair and happy to be anonymous. I feel the irritation when I hear others having to put up with this need to comment.

    Hugs Sarah

    Ah the hair situation. This is my 3rd time dealing with cancer and chemo. The first two times I had lost my hair and was wearing wigs. Of course I got all these remarks too.

    This time around, with the new gem carbo cocktail the hair didn't fall, BUT it's so thin, I have hardly hair on top, every day I'm losing a lot of hair and what's left is lifeless and fried (like my chemo brain, but that's another story). You have to hear all the stupid comments I get: "Oh at least you still have your hair!" Are you blind?! THIS IS NOT MY HAIR!!! Does it look like healthy, bouncy hair? NO.This is Bozo the clown wig.

    Sorry...just venting...hmm...maybe I should have posted it to Steam room for anger :-)

    To the tune of Jingle Bells....

    Oh chemo drugs, chemo drugs dripping through my veins,

    Wiping out those cancer cells so I'll be well again.

    Chemo drugs, chemo drugs nausea oh what glee.

    I don't care take all my hair just save my life for me!

    My bowels are a fright. Can't seem to get them right.

    I pooped my brains out yesterday. Now I can't go tonight.

    Oooohhh....chemo drugs, etc.

    I hope somebody gets a laugh from my silly chemo song. Love, Jean
