OK...was I rude when I said this?
I was just on my way to the restroom when I ran into a fellow coworker who was recently dx w/ Stage 1, ER+, PR+, HER2- bc and is currently going through radiation. She has only had 7 and was saying that it was too much to go get treatment every day and wanted to quit (is floored that part of her lung may be getting hit too and doesn't know why they are doing this). I tried explaining to her why and told her that MY treatment lasted 1 1/2 years and in "my" opinion, radiation was a cake walk (I know it's not like this for everyone, but it was for me). She said goodbye and stormed out. OK, was I rude? Thank you.
