I'm amazed at what people will say but then I guess so many people don't know WHAT to say and come out with some really dumb things instead.

Even if it's only two or three. Oh man and I love what you said about strapping the big girl panties back on!

I love that "S...Ditto to everything here! :) <br /><br />I love that "Stay positive" is one of the things most of us can't stand hearing. lol. Yes... because if it were EASY we would be staying positive ALL the time. But it's not always possible to BE positive! <br /><br />I say the same... feel however you need to feel. And I think I have a 3 day CAP too! hahaashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537925034991767149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213258630389139644.post-51017913515587294222013-01-11T02:34:23.874+01:002013-01-11T02:34:23.874+01:00Fricking AMEN.Fricking AMEN.ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537925034991767149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213258630389139644.post-7399423117230547172013-01-11T01:04:53.395+01:002013-01-11T01:04:53.395+01:00I totally agree with everything you have said! I ...I totally agree with everything you have said! I am approaching my one year anniversary of stepping on this crazy cancer ride. Although I have completed my chemo and radiation, I still have a surgery left. People just see hair and that equals health again. If they only knew what passes through my mind. My fears are always there poking up when least expected but I have found it easier to smile and nod. I only let two or three other people know what is really rattling around in my head. Quite frankly, it is so true unless you have gone through it, you just don't get it. I won't even get started on people telling you to stay positive. That one really got under my skin. I am learning that this journey starts out on a pretty bumpy road, but hopefully it will start smoothing out over time. It sucks but we have to play our cards our way. Just remember that it is okay to feel however you feel. I try to limit myself to 3days maximum of self pity then strap the big girl panties back on and plunge forward. Don't know if it helps but I get it.<br />Inspired by youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166661693758727770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213258630389139644.post-47849087132950895152013-01-10T12:11:43.302+01:002013-01-10T12:11:43.302+01:00Ahw Tracy,
Thank you so much for your sweet words...Ahw Tracy,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your sweet words! What you said about how you can identify with me was very moving!<br /><br />I think it was around the time you moved to jebelle?! Because I can't remember what your blog was called before that. I was only 18 or so when I started mine, it seems so long ago! <br /><br />I'm happy to read that my blog raised awareness and that you're taking good care of yourself now! The mammography really is not as bad as people say. So many horror stories about that one, but it'll be over before you know it.

I understand you.
Nobody can imagine wha...Oh Ciel,<br />I understand you. <br />Nobody can imagine what you are going through, unless, like you say, they've experienced exactly the same. It's hard for people who haven't experienced something (if it's a sickness or loss or an accident....) to give comfort to the people who have and it's good that you write exactly what you don't want to hear. <br /><br />I know from me, I'm a realist, so it doesn't help me, yes it annoys me when people say "everything will be ok". Of course it's nice to be optimistic (which I am too) but it's challenging at times.<br /><br />I can just tell you, you changed and helped me a lot.<br /><br />I've been following your blog for years (was it to jebelle times or before that already?), then, when you stopped with prettytear I followed you on Flickr and Facebook (not in a stalker kind of way, you know ;o) ). From what I've read and saw about you I could identify myself with you a bit because it seemed we're living a similar life (what you eat, the way you decorate your apartment, your relationship to your sister etc...), so, of course it hit me hard when I read your diagnosis.<br /><br />Up until then I thought "it's not running in my family so I don't need to worry" until, well, you know... you wrote that it's not running in your family either.<br /><br />I think about you constantly and since the summer I check my breasts once a month, read a lot, tell my doctor I want a sonography, no matter how much it costs (my next sonography and mammography (which I don't want) in a week will get paid for by my insurance - yay).<br /><br />At first I was scared to read your new blog, but now I read every article you post.... Hugs for you!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14330386815126350209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213258630389139644.post-13144147722652246452013-01-09T12:22:02.074+01:002013-01-09T12:22:02.074+01:00Oh dear Lu, don't worry about it!

I'm really touched by your comments and that you keep reading my story even though we never met in person! Thanks girlie! And yes it's very likely you will find a bunny behind the curtains :)Cielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300663613530232897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213258630389139644.post-32911236871518512332013-01-09T04:12:15.092+01:002013-01-09T04:12:15.092+01:00I am now realizing that I might have stuck my foot...I am now realizing that I might have stuck my foot in my mouth more times than one, here. Oh Cécile, I'm sorry! <br /><br />Anyway, I'll try to be mindful of what you say up there. But I won't back down when I say I believe you have the strength to get through this. Even when you feel down (especially when you feel down!) we're all here to stay positive for you. And when you need us to shut the hell up, we'll do so promptly. <br /><br />As I will right now. <br /><br />*runs away, hides behind the curtains*<br /><br />OH, I found a bunny!<br /><br />*pets*<br /><br />(sorry, that comment above ate up my last lines in the post. oops?)Luminoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404827292323691933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213258630389139644.post-86249543501954256632013-01-09T04:11:14.646+01:002013-01-09T04:11:14.646+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Luminoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404827292323691933noreply@blogger.com
