Sorry that people are not
Sorry that people are not more understanding toward you. I think their comments are based on their lack of knowledge -- not out of malice. Before I had bc I might have made some type of comment out of ignorance. I was always afraid to ask survivors about their procedures, in case they did not want to talk about it or maybe they had gotten bad news.
Hang in there--we are here for you!0 -

I am so sorry. Having bc is so difficult on its own. And, some people just don't know what to say, and, when they do talk, they say the wrong thing. Just try and ignore them and concentrate on getting yourself well and free of cancer!

Wow! A cosmetic Surgery Vacation~ Lucky you!! LOL
Some of us get boobs, and some of us are surrounded by boobs!!! People do say the most inappropriate things, don't they? They are a puzzlement to me, that's for sure. On the other hand, I wonder how many off the wall comments I made to others before I started this journey. Knowing me, I probably put my foot in my mouth plenty of times!
On to more important things, namely YOU!!! I am sorry you have had a few "glitches", it of course goes without saying that I hope your surgery goes well for you, that the results are stellar, and you will be healthy and happy for at least the next 50 years! And that the next time you have 2 weeks off, it will indeed be for the relaxed, no cares, no surgery vacation you deserve!
Hugs!

Sorry Dawn for what seems to
Sorry Dawn for what seems to be people's insensitive remarks, but they just don't get it. They don't say things to be mean it's just that they want to reach out and just don't know how or what to say to us. None of us asked to have cancer, nor did we ask to lose a breast, so just smile and walk away because no matter how hard you try to explain, they just don't get it. Just pour your heart out to us who have traveled or are traveling your same road, we understand. Hugs, Lili0 -

People can be so dumb and insensitive. Don't let it bother you. They are not important.
Just ignore their stupidity and do what you have to do for yourself.
And, come here and vent!0 -
THANKS!!DianeBC said:Dawn, you come here and vent
Dawn, you come here and vent anytime you want. We do understand, unlike others who have not been thru this. I am so sorry for their ignorance.
Good luck to you!
Thank you all so much for your understanding and validation!!! My "vacation" is on the 20th starting with that lovely take me away cocktail. I'll be sure to send a "post" card and tell you how it's going.

We've all been...
... subjected to ignorant comments. People mean well, the vast majority of the time. Unfortunately for you (and us), most of the time they simply don't spend even a moment to THINK before they speak. You're absolutely correct: NOT a vacation for you, and NOT a "cosmetic" procedure! Your frustration is totally understandable.
I'll be hoping all goes well with your surgery, and for speedy recovery.0 -

Some people are just plain ignorant and I would personally like to slap them. Rudeness is so ugly and so is stupidity. Sorry for what they said to you. Just try to ignore them and realize that they don't know any better. You just have your surgery and get yourself healthy. Post and let us know how you are doing!0 -

Ditto for what Susan and everyone else said. I just sigh and node and give my hubby "the look" that means...."can I kill them now? Do you got my back?" He looks back with the look that says "if your a good girl, I'll buy you a Dairy Queen on the way home!" Guess what? The Dairy Queen always wins! :O) Pammy0 -

And all these ignorant, thoughtless people don't even know that they have been saved by Dairy Queen. Next time, just sing to hubby, DQ save a life today, make stupid people go away, I need a blizzard. Add the look and you can get extra sprinkles.

Can't believe that someone would say that, let alone even think it. I think sometimes they just don't get what they are saying. Stupidity? Probably.
Don't worry about them. Good luck with your surgery. Heal quickly and let us know how you continue to do.0
