it's cruel when others don't understand and you lose friends over it. When they are diagnosed who will they come too? When your friend said to you oh well someone had to get it and I agree with you that this is clueless of them to say it. They aren't untouchable with breast cancer which is the cancer that gets to women. it touches the feminine side of you. If you don't have a recontruction as I did it leaves you lop sided, flat, having a shower is emotional. half man half woman, and then not having feelings like this in your life. it's hard to deal with and others who haven't had this type of surgery can throw anything like a spanner in the works and make you so hurt. Remember they aren't untouchable so who will they run to if they need some help? Maybe they will say sorry to you and ask you for help. I feel let down tonight by my husband and son. It seems to me too that you are young person who has had breast cancer so I can say sorry to you as it must be so hard for you. I'm glad that I got breast cancer when I was 61 and beated it. Glenys 0
