It really helped to vent, more than I ever thought it would!

Among the things I worry about is a sister-in-law who had breast cancer about the same time as I had my first bout. I had a lumpectomy; she had a mastectomy and vociferously and persistently questioned my choice. The new cancer (if it is indeed cancer) is in the same breast, and I know she will say (and she is of course right) that if I'd had a mastectomy I wouldn't be going through this again. Grrrr. She excels at making unhelpful remarks that make people feel bad. So I told my husband that as far as she's concerned, the new cancer is in my other breast!
