Real words.

"She doesn't want anyone to know."
"I'm worried about her. She seemed kind of down last time we met."
"I have Metastatic Breast Cancer so I'll be doing this the rest of my life."
"I didn't know I'd be having so many reconstructive surgeries."
"I thought I'd close this chapter & walk away."
"Nobody told me my boobs wouldn't be even."
"I'm in a clinical trial, & it's working. Just pray that it keeps working."
"I found a lump."
"The fatigue is overwhelming."
"I couldn't sleep."
"I wake up every morning so sad."
"I think I have PTSD"
"You do have PTSD."
"My brain won't stop spinning."
"I've lost all of my femininity."
"It's impacting my whole family."
"My husband just doesn't know what to do."
"It's an anxiety that never goes away."
"My Labs were good."
"My tumor marker was down."
"My lump is shrinking. My chemo is working."
"I just can't focus."
"I keep gaining weight."
"I feel so ugly."
"My child has separation anxiety."
"Yes, I've met people I never would have met, but I'll never say I'm glad I got breast cancer."
"I wonder how my hair will come back."
"My wig still hasn't arrived."
With tears, my friend said she played with her grand daughter as her daughter watched. Her daughter was having treatments.
She babysits her grandchildren while her daughter has treatments.
"I decided not to have that surgery. I'd rather live with just one boob."
"I'm having another surgery."
"I'll have fat grafting. Maybe I'll look better where the Dr removes fat." Not!
"It didn't turn out how I expected."
"My friends care, but they don't really get it."
