Imagine this situation. (Actually, I’ll bet many of you have been here, so it’s more remembering than imagining.) You’re in a group of women, women who’ve had breast cancer. The talk shifts, as it always does, to personal experience. One woman tells of her DCIS and lumpectomy....
Breast cancer blogger Rebecca Armstrong (author of "Random Observations from Treatment") also wrote about this topic recently in a post entitled "Cancer Snobbery."
She writes, "I am... completely humbled by the stage four metastatics who are in it for the long haul. They are the mac daddies of my world, the kings and queens of endurance, the Guiness Book record holders.....for them, I have utmost respect."
Read the rest of Rebecca's "Snobbery" post to get the full picture, and check out her blog on breast cancer treatment and much more.
