Re: Cancer Etiquette: Talking to Someone With Cancer
Thank you for this great post. I, too, wish I could show this to some people without coming across as a witch.
One thing that irks the heck out of me is when talking about a different disease, awareness, research, cure, etc, someone will say "well it's not sexy like breast cancer!"
When in the world did BC become sexy?????
These words, of course, are always spoken by women who have never been diagnosed with bc.
Also, I agree that the post by Kilby must be spam. Ugh!
