| Pinkribbonwendi | @stales I had a lady tell me "at least u had the good kind of cancer" (there's a GOOD KIND?!?) #bcsm | |
| StylewithClass | I could write a book on what people said to me: 1st DX: 'well, u didn't have 'real' cancer b/c u didn't need chemo.' No comment! #BCSM | |
| chemobrainfog | Sending you giant hugs. RT @miamicrime: #bcsm i want chocolate all the time. #bcsm | |

| StylewithClass | @Pinkribbonwendi @stales I had that same comment too - "the good one" OY. #BCSM | |
| NancysPoint | @Pinkribbonwendi Yep heard that one too. #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | A1 Not to be overshadowed by "Well, at least you have the "good" kind of cancer". #HUH?! #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | @StylewithClass ARGGG #bcsm | |
| Pinkribbonwendi | @stales I've had friends whose family/friends have actually expressed fear of catching cancer! #bcsm | |

| DrAttai | @JediPD glad you could join us - we're talking about "things people say" #bcsm | |
| stales | q1: first day back to work after double mast w/ no recon: co-worker looked at me and said "what happened to your chest?" #bcsm | |
| StylewithClass | And of course I am sure we all heard this one: "You don't look sick" - #BCSM | |
| DrAttai | Oh, wow - I thought I heard it all but you guys have had to deal with some real jerks! #bcsm | |
| BCSisterhood | @stales I've talked to several Hispanic husbands who think they can catch cancer from their wives. #BCSM | |
| feistybluegecko | A1 one very good friend "oh but they have really fine tuned chemo these days so it is so much easier" aaaarghhh! #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | A1: Weirdest thing: someone I had just met said "Well if you die and your dd needs someone to talk to, she can call me." Umm, WTF? #bcsm | |

| DrAttai | @BCSisterhood there are definitely a lot of cultural biases / misconceptions - lots of room for education #bcsm | |
| miamicrime | #bcsm I have been offered healing light by people who believe they can channel it and give it off with their hands | |
| Brandie185 | I hate to say it, but I looked like shit. And so I never heard the you don't look sick. I heard the opposite. Blech #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @chemobrainfog don't smash the laptop!! We need your input! #bcsm | |
| yvonnewatterson | or the suggestion that it must be my fault in some way ... "Oh, didn't you go for your mammograms?" #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | @chemobrainfog I know. Isn't that crazy? I wouldn't even think that, let alone say it! #bcsm | |
| feistybluegecko | A1 one of my colleagues was astounded I had breast cancer, as married women don't get it - cultural aspect #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | ARG RT @miamicrime: #bcsm I have been offered healing light by people who believe they can channel it and give it off with their hands #bcsm | |

| NancysPoint | Oh my! RT @miamicrime: #bcsm I have been offered healing light by people who believe they can channel it #bcsm | |

| stales | Q1: drumrolll..... shittiest comment to me ever: about to get first chemo, nurse can't find vein to get started, and says........ 1/2 #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | {I also feel I need to add, all these strang things were said by people NOT close to me. They were, thankfully, wonderful} #bcsm | |
| yvonnewatterson | then there are the people who say "I just know you'll beat this." What would they say if they thought I wouldn't ... #bcsm | |
| talkabouthealth | UGH! RT @BCSisterhood: Before a friend of mine died from breast cancer, someone told her she hadnt prayed hard enough! #bcsm | |
| TeamR0XY | Try being the pregnant bald chic in the chemo room or dr office. I always got questions & comments but most were positive. #bcsm | |
| StylewithClass | @DrAttai it blew my mind....my parents were with me. I was floored. I wasn't concerned about losing my hair..but still digesting DX #BCSM | |
| DrAttai | @yvonnewatterson sort of like first question to lung cancer patient - did you smoke- trying to find an answer but really placing blame #bcsm | |
| stales | Q1: "If you just calm down, chemo would be alot easier. i don't know why you're all worked up" 2/2 REALLY? #bcsm | |
| jenniegrimes | #bcsm "Wait, the breast cancer spread to your hip?! Does that mean another boob is growing there?" really?!? | |
| JenniferAlhasa | I think most people say what they say from discomfort, to make themselves feel better. Most are not trying to be offensive or mean. #BCSM | |
| chemobrainfog | @AdamsLisa and @ RennPatterson just both wrote excellent blogs about the prayer thing and "cope not hope" #bcsm | |
| debmthomas | Q1 after my mastect my 'friend' asked me, "So, do you feel lopsided?" (I swear it's the truth) #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | A1 Another winner: "You must not have eaten enough (fill in the blank)". Cause we all know about the weekly headlines! #bcsm | |

| NancysPoint | @debmthomas Lordy, that's kinda like mine, (did they take em both off?) #bcsm | |

| chemobrainfog | And then, there is a cure in a lab somewhere. You know that, right? UMMMM, not a great idea to share such grassy knoll stupidity. #bcsm | |

| Brandie185 | A1 "I was watching Doctor Oz. If you just drink green smoothies, you'll be fine!" Yeah. 100 bucks that's not how he'd treat his cancer #bcsm | |

| BCSisterhood | I heard that one not long ago. People just don't think! RT@stales "Do you have unresolved anger issues? I hear that causes cancer?" #BCSM | |
| miamicrime | RT @stales: Another favorite stupid cancer comment: "Do you have unresolved anger issues? I hear that causes cancer?" #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | @Pinkribbonwendi I agree! I said that in the beginning. I KNEW it would be like that. PISSED OFF or LAUGHING! #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | Common sense isn't! MT @stales: MT @JediPD: Intelligence doesn't exist in a degree. that's why ignorance speaks through stupid tones #bcsm | |
| Wendy_Nielsen | RT @BCSisterhood: "You'll look back on those as some of life's little bumps." Little? They weren't that little! #BCSM | |
| Brandie185 | Oh my fav: "Chemo is just a big money maker. Pay this guy 5000 a month and he'll heal you naturally!" Oh, cause that's cheaper! #bcsm | |
| stales | q1: And more wisdom: "Green smoothies cure cancer", "Pharma has 'the cure' but they're sitting on it just to make more money" #bcsm | |
| JenniferAlhasa | ♥ RT @drattai: RT @Brandie185: @JenniferAlhasa I agree. Which is why I usually just smile and nod to people. I think they mean well. #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | I love you. Thanks!! RT @stales: @chemobrainfog log out and log back into tweet chat to get the RT function back. #bcsm | |
| Wendy_Nielsen | I got "it's all in God's plan" a lot. And "if Lance Armstrong can do it, so can you." Ugh! #BCSM | |
| yvonnewatterson | Cancer confounds people, I think. But when people know better, they really do better so we need to keep educating families & friends. #bcsm | |
| stales | RT @Pinkribbonwendi: The discussion is 1/2 making me laugh, 1/2 pissing me off! LOL #CancerSucks #ThingsPeopleSayToCancerPatients #bcsm | |
| rsm2800 | @chemobrainfog Agree. I had a 19 year old pt (not breast ca) who was more mature than his parents & did most of the comforting #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | "You have too much stress in your life" #bcsm | |
| BCSisterhood | It makes me crazy when people call me a cancer "victim." None of this group has a victim mentality, that's for sure. #BCSM | |
| ABHuret | A1 And none of the comments are helpful b/c aside from those w BRCA, no one truly knows what caused it and that's all we want to know! #bcsm | |
| feistybluegecko | anger causes cancer? or cancer causes anger? hmmm i know which resonates more with me!!! #bcsm | |

| LynneFavreau | Lady trashes money grubbing pharma then relates her alternative compounds regamine at a cost of $14,000.yr !? I'll stick w/chemo. #bcsm | |
| stales | q1: brilliant piece of work from a social worker: "Now that you're done with treatment, what's next for you? Climbing Everest?" #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | "Just stay positive and it will be fine." Oh, ok. I didn't know positive attitude was a known cure. #bcsm | |
| BCSisterhood | @Wendy_Nielsen I don't believe God micro-manages our lives, although we can use adversity to learn from them. #BCSM | |
| TeamR0XY | @miamicrime No more amazing than you! We are all #strongwomen. #bcsm | |
| Pinkribbonwendi | @stales TY for the hash tag. I keep forgetting! #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | Here's another goodie: "Cancer is a gift" #bcsm | |
| JenniferAlhasa | Here's to shining the light! RT @kimwhit: @JenniferAlhasa yes I think it's ignorance, discomfort, fear #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | How about 'It will make you a better person' or 'it's a gift'. I'm sorry ... last I checked, Nordstrom wasn't accepting returns for BC #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | @chemobrainfog If cancer is a gift, I want the receipt so I can return it =) #bcsm | |
| Wendy_Nielsen | @BCSisterhood the worst was that "God gave me cancer on purpose." #BCSM | |
| DrAttai | @stales so did you ever get to Everest?! I would think getting back to life would be more than an accomplishment enough! Jeez. #bcsm | |
| ISophia3 | RT @stales: Another favorite stupid cancer comment: "Do you have unresolved anger issues? I hear that causes cancer?" #bcsm | |
| JediPD | Allow me to add one: "They have a cure but they just want to poison us and make money" (Conspiracy Theory #1) #bcsm | |
| NancysPoint | "the most impt thing is to stay positive." that one's hurtful. #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | It's only hair! I have to bite my tongue from saying, oh, well, if it's only hair, shave yours off too =) #bcsm | |
| TeamR0XY | How about this one: If anyone can handle this, it would be you. #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @Pinkribbonwendi if you log into tweet chat it will add the hashtag automatically #bcsm | |

| rsm2800 | @BCSisterhood Re "victim" I was at a press conference once announcing cancer legislation w/ a state governor… #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | @TeamR0XY Right. And it sounds like a compliment, and yet, it's not. #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | @chemobrainfog you are officially freaking me out --- just tweeted the 'gift' comment! lol! XO #bcsm | |

| dianeradfordmd | Horrible! @Wendy_Nielsen @BCSisterhood the worst was that "God gave me cancer on purpose." #BCSM | |
| chemobrainfog | @ABHuret haha! #bcsm | |
| rsm2800 | …who said he was "SO glad he could meet the cancer victims here." This was before he got recalled, ahem #bcsm | |

| miamicrime | #bcsm I think people first want to figure what I did so that they can avoid it and then they want to believe that there is a magical cure | |
| chemobrainfog | @stales haha! We need to come up with the snappy ANSWERS to the common questions! #bcsm | |
| BCSisterhood | People don't intend to come off as stupid, they're just uneducated & haven't walked the cancer path or aren't thinking. #BCSM | |

| DrAttai | we want it all!! RT @ABHuret: @DrAttai The comeback lines that we dont have the audacity to say or the public ones? ; ) #bcsm | |
| stales | q2: When someone says to newly diagnosed person: "My <fill in the blank> had your cancer and died" What do you say?? Make 'em snappy #bcsm | |
| feistybluegecko | the comeback lines are really difficult - these comments stem from so many different things, fear, misinformation, misplaced caring.. #bcsm | |

| yvonnewatterson | Oh yes, please. I need to carry a list of come-back lines in my purse. Every day. #bcsm | |
| MsGreene | #bcsm @Social*Fly Positivity can't be drummed up. Some of us just knew Breast Cancer wasn't going to win. No judgement for others! | |
| feistybluegecko | so the comeback lines have to gel with where the comments come from, the same words from different mouths mean different things #bcsm | |
| hnh911 | @BCSisterhood "God only gives us what we can handle" #BCSM | |
| TeamR0XY | Funniest was while dining out, random woman asked what I had going on w/my hair (um...bald). I say just cancer. Her mouth drops. #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | The 'language' of cancer needs a makeover. Victim, battle, fight, brave, etc. To be honest, I don't exactly like the word 'Survivor'. #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @SeattleMamaDoc thanks for the shout-out! #bcsm | |
| NancysPoint | agree.RT @feistybluegecko comeback lines are really difficult the comments stem from many different things,misinformation, misplaced #bcsm | |

| LynneFavreau | Who was clear headed enough comeback lines? I just walk away on account of my F*&* You directness. #bcsm | |
| dianeradfordmd | @ABHuret I think in this very forum the word surthrivor was used, which I think is a great word #bcsm | |

| ABHuret | A2 Hero? Brave? No ... I'm not in Afghanistan risking my life to defend our liberties. THOSE men and women are heroes, not me. #bcsm | |
| AdamsLisa | I used to just be angry when ppl gave religious reasons for my cancer. I then started saying "Do you believe that? Because I don't." #bcsm | |
| stales | My worst comeback line right after double mastectomy: Coworker: "What happened to you chest?" Me: "What happened to your face?!" #bcsm | |
| KimTankerous | Seems like unless one refers to #iloveboobies, @KeepABreast won't retweet/address issues vital to breast cancer survivor community #bcsm | |
| NancysPoint | sometimes it's perfectly fine to say that comment was hurtful (or inappropriate or whatever) just like i told my students!! (sorry) #bcsm | |
| Cancer_Why_Me | #bcsm The 1 that gets me is, "I'm sooooo sorry!" All drawn out with emotion. Really?? What are U sorry for? They never know how 2 answer. | |
| DrAttai | @Brandie185 awesome! #bcsm | |
| kimwhit | @stales I am always late - chromosome I believe #bcsm | |
| NancysPoint | @AdamsLisa hi lisa. #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @stales I assume you two don't talk any more! #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | @dianeradfordmd I think I saw that at one point. I do like that. Survivor makes me sad because it's dismissive of people who die. #bcsm | |

| kimwhit | @chemobrainfog AM, this is wonderful, thanks #bcsm | |
| MsGreene | @Social*Fly I'm with you. I don't like "survivor" or "in remission". What terms do you all use to describe yourselves? #bcsm | |
| AdamsLisa | Always frustrating when ppl say, "Oh, I'm sure it's nothing" (before diag confirmed)&"I just know you'll be fine." Neither fact-based #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | @kimwhit Thanks :) #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | @MsGreene @abhuret NED is the clinical term, but it doesn't really have meaning outside of this circle #BCSM | |
| DrAttai | @chemobrainfog great advice! #bcsm | |
| mgaile | LOL! RT @stales: My worst comeback line after double mast: Coworker: "What happened to your chest?" Me: "What happened to your face?" #bcsm | |
| BCSisterhood | As in do you have a crystal ball? @AdamsLisa "I just know you'll be fine." #BCSM | |
| AdamsLisa | I always said, "Well, we like to hope that's the case (that things will be okay), but we really don't know, now, do we?" #bcsm | |
| feistybluegecko | yes, the "oh you'll be fine" about monitoring checks really gets me - that is the whole point of the checks!!! i might NOT be fine #bcsm | |
