| a4breastcancer | Many different times in different ways. still have issues with it #BCSM #bcsm | |
| Bethlgainer | Q1: wasn't angry as a patient, but sure am as a survivor. Lots of things docs didn't tell me b/4 tmt and i had gr8 docs. #BCSM | |
| annwax | @jodyms From seeing anger re illness from my pts. it is hard for them to heal from within. #bcsm | |
| stales | RT @jodyms Q1: When/how did anger manifest itself in your cancer treatment and survivorship? Serial tweets are fine. Were listening. #bcsm | |
| jodyms | @a4breastcancer What was the first thing you noticed? #bcsm | |

#BCSM | |

| DrBeckerSchutte | RT @a4breastcancer: Many different times in different ways. still have issues with it #BCSM #bcsm | |
| sassyshae | @sassyshae I wasn't angry until after treatment and there was no plan to move forward. #bcsm | |
| stales | @Jrubiner Hi there! Thanks for stopping by tonight. Honored to have you join us! #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | Q1 I'm trying 2 remember when anger kicked in. Shock, sadness, disbelief for a long time before anger entered the emotional minefield #bcsm | |
| HeartOverdBars | Honestly haven't been angry much. I think I have great docs and great support. I get mad about pink ribbon denial & erasing stage IV #bcsm | |
| regrounding | Q1: I honestly don't remember a lot of anger. What I had was directed at how this impacted my family, mostly my son. #bcsm | |
| stales | RT @sassyshae: I wasnt angry until after treatment and there was no plan to move forward. #bcsm | |
| a4breastcancer | @DrAttai funny you showed article Vanderbilt=Ingram-I volunteered and very angry with plastic surgeon there #BCSM #bcsm | |
| CJMeta | Wasn't angry at BC or MBC ... was angry at the different public response to MBC vis-a-vis BC #bcsm | |
| Bethlgainer | @sassyshae No plan from the medical staff? #BCSM | |
| LGG1 | @DrAttai I think long-term effects of treatment, even if known, r hard to deal with down the road.
#BCSM | |
| jodyms | Q1: During treatment we're so busy w/getting through it effects are often delayed....a boomerang reaction. #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | Q1 Hmm, I know I have anger. There are days where I am bursting with it, but then I stuff it. And I am afraid one day I will just blow #bcsm | |
| garyleethompson | Maureen spent 10 years pursuing architecture degree, internship and license. Day license arrived was same day her biopsy came back... #Bcsm | |
| annwax | @HeartOverdBars I cannot stand the pink ribbons. #bcsm | |
| regrounding | YES!!! RT @CJMeta: Wasnt angry at BC or MBC ... was angry at the different public response to MBC vis-a-vis BC #bcsm | |
| HeartOverdBars | RT @CJMeta: Wasnt angry at BC or MBC ... was angry at the different public response to MBC vis-a-vis BC Yes, yes! #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | Yes! RT @HeartOverdBars: havent been angry much. I think I have great docs & support. mad about pink ribbon denial & erasing stage IV #bcsm | |
| jodyms | @CJMeta Q1: I'm seeing that a lot - anger at public response or lack of. #bcsm | |
| danceswithpens | Q1 Was angry at 1st after failure to dx me w stage IV/mets b/c I kept askg PCP, could it be my BC. Had months of agony and damage. #bcsm | |
| Bethlgainer | YES! RT @jodyms: Q1: During treatment were so busy w/getting through it effects are often delayed....a boomerang reaction. #BCSM | |
| a4breastcancer | he told me to wait for the FDA to approve an implant they never approved, botched job, would never finish #BCSM #bcsm | |
| colleen_young | Interesting. @HeartOverdBars RT @CJMeta: Wasn't angry at BC or MBC ... was angry at the different public response to MBC vis-a-vis BC #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @HeartOverdBars glad your experience was "good" - we're all angry about pink crap and lack of focus on metastatic disease #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | But I also think the anger hit after treatment. When I was finally not sick enough to actually have room for feelings. #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | Oh yes!!! RT @CJMeta: Wasnt angry at BC or MBC ... was angry at the different public response to MBC vis-a-vis BC #bcsm | |
| stales | RT @jodyms: @CJMeta Q1: I'm seeing that a lot - anger at public response or lack of. #bcsm | |

| stales | RT @Brandie185: But I also think the anger hit after treatment. When I was finally not sick enough to actually have room for feelings. #bcsm | |
| HeartOverdBars | @annwax Me neither. The whole culture of cheerfulness. Brightsiding. "You have a great attitude." Magical thinking. #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @a4breastcancer definitely not a good situation #bcsm | |
| colleen_young | @regrounding @HeartOverdBars @CJMeta Angry at response or lack thereof? #bcsm | |
| jodyms | RT @colleen_young: Interesting. @HeartOverdBars RT @CJMeta: Wasnt angry at BC or MBC ... was angry at the dif public response to MBC #bcsm | |
| regrounding | On second thought...there was some anger that my ob/gyn failed to notice a 4cm tumor. #bcsm | |
| Bethlgainer | @danceswithpens Wow. Totally justified anger. #BCSM | |
| sassyshae | @sassyshae I am encouraged though, seeing my oncologist's protege, she has a good plan, also have bariatric surgery consult soon. #bcsm | |
| a4breastcancer | angry that my friend died of MBC and that in the past 14 minutes some woman in the US died of MBC #BCSM #bcsm | |
| talkabouthealth | Hi everyone, Murray here. Lurking tonight but just wanted to say hello :) Great topic! #bcsm | |
| Jrubiner | When Lori started treatment, I was angry that it was now part of our lives...starting our son in pre-school seemed like enough
#bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @Brandie185 let it out - you need an escape valve! #bcsm | |
| stales | T1: I was very angry when first diagnosed with hodgkins at such a young age. Angry that my college years were chemo years :-( #bcsm | |
| DrBeckerSchutte | RT @jodyms: Q1: During treatment were so busy w/getting through it effects are often delayed....a boomerang reaction. #bcsm | |
| garyleethompson | Instead of celebrating her status as architect, we instead were faced with "you have cancer." Her tears stirred a deep anger.... #Bcsm | |
| stales | whoa... RT @regrounding: On second thought...there was some anger that my ob/gyn failed to notice a 4cm tumor. #bcsm | |
| HeartOverdBars | @DrAttai People just don't hear about Stage IV. It's all brave talk about "great prognosis." So many people living w/terminal dx #bcsm | |
| jodyms | Q1: I remember being crazy furious when I was taking tamoxifen. It was impossible to even sit still and work. So uncomfortable. #bcsm | |
| crgonzalez | @HeartOverdBars Culture of cheerfulness = condescending attitude #bcsm | |
| braGGsonline | Q1 Was angry that BC took my mother from me as a small child & now could take me as a mother to my own small children Very complicated #bcsm | |
| regrounding | Angry about the pink ribbon culture. RT @colleen_young: @regrounding @HeartOverdBars @CJMeta Angry at response or lack thereof? #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | RT @Brandie185: But I also think the anger hit after treatment. When I was finally not sick enough to actually have room for feelings. #bcsm | |
| danceswithpens | Q1 was never angry after primary, only after delayed dx of stage IV and devastating results. #bcsm | |
| DrBeckerSchutte | RT @regrounding: On second thought...there was some anger that my ob/gyn failed to notice a 4cm tumor. #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | Q1 I think I began to get angry when the first people started to tell me about my "boob job" #bcsm | |
| sassyshae | @Bethlgainer Lose weight. That was the plan. #bcsm | |
| Bethlgainer | MT @Jrubiner: When Lori started trmnt, I was angry that it was now part of our lives...starting son in pre-school seemed like enough #BCSM | |
| Brandie185 | Yes, I agree, angry about how breast cancer is often portrayed as an excuse to throw a party with a lot of pink. Blech. #bcsm | |
| jodyms | @danceswithpens A delayed dx? Understandably angry. #bcsm | |
| jodyms | @chemobrainfog people asked you about "boob job?" #bcsm | |
| danceswithpens | @a4breastcancer I often get angry with cancer after posting names of MBC friends who have died on a list i keep on my blog. #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | Q1 and then, the minute the chemo needle was out of my arm for the last time, "Cancer is over" Yup, that pissed me off, too #bcsm | |
| stales | RT @Brandie185 Q1 know I have anger. There are days where I am bursting with it, but then stuff it. am afraid one day I will just blow #bcsm | |
| colleen_young | @regrounding Oh yes. But is that related to the BC vs. MBC public response? Excuse my ignorance. #bcsm | |
| stales | RT @Brandie185: Yes, I agree, angry about how breast cancer is often portrayed as an excuse to throw a party with a lot of pink. Blech #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @Jrubiner son starting preschool is more than enough! #bcsm | |
| jodyms | Q1: Did any of your perceive your feelings of anger as something negative or something to avoid? #bcsm | |
| HeartOverdBars | @Brandie185 Blech indeed. I'm angry at the cancer-industrial complex. #bcsm | |
| DrBeckerSchutte | Everyone needs an escape valve-suppressed anger is bad for you! RT @DrAttai: @Brandie185 let it out - you need an escape valve! #bcsm | |
| annwax | It is very upsetting when you go to a healthcare professional and the miss dx you. That can get a person angry. #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | @jodyms Yes.. the bilat mx w/reconstruction was "nothing more than a boob job" #bcsm | |
| danceswithpens | @jodyms Took me a while to deal with that … #bcsm | |
| a4breastcancer | angry in past 14 minutes someone in US died of MBC #BCSM #bcsm | |
| Jrubiner | During @regrounding's treatment I was angry at the pity...in hospital, she had an older roommate and her kids seemed so sad for us #bcsm | |
| Bethlgainer | Q1: During tmt was angry at ppl who said I "looked good" and was lucky to get vacay to get chemo. #BCSM | |
| ABHuret | Tardy to the party --- sorry. Hi All : ) #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | RT @HeartOverdBars: @Brandie185 Blech indeed. Im angry at the cancer-industrial complex. #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | grrr ... is twitter lagging for everyone else too? Or just me? #bcsm | |
| JulieGoodale | Hi, late to the game tonight & cooking dinner. Anger? Got angry at movies w/ chick dying - she always looks good & grateful.
#bcsm | |
| DrAttai | RT @jodyms: Q1: Did any of your perceive your feelings of anger as something negative or something to avoid? #bcsm | |
| crgonzalez | RT @HeartOverdBars: @Brandie185 Blech indeed. Im angry at the cancer-industrial complex. #bcsm | |
| jodyms | @DrBeckerSchutte Suppressed anger. What happens w/that? I know the sterotypes...but what's the reality? #bcsm | |
| sassyshae | @sassyshae I felt like the feelings would keep me from moving forward.
#bcsm | |
| LGG1 | Yes! RT @annwax: It is very upsetting when you go to a healthcare professional and the miss dx you. That can get a person angry. #BCSM | |
| DrBeckerSchutte | MT @chemobrainfog Then, the minute the chemo needle was out of my arm for the last time, "Cancer is over" Yup, that pissed me off, too #bcsm | |
| regrounding | For me, yes. Public has been fed a bill of goods - try hard enough & BC is now curable, ergo MBC is my fault. RT @colleen_young #bcsm | |
| HeartOverdBars | @crgonzalez Yup. Not really condescending though. Whistling in a graveyard? Ppl want to think they have control. #bcsm | |
| Bethlgainer | @chemobrainfog Horrible how many ppl say that. #BCSM | |
| NikiBarrPhD | @Bethlgainer Unbelievable!
#bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | Q1 in the beginning, I avoided my anger. Let the remarks go. Now. Not So Much! #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @ABHuret hi - we're talking about cancer anger #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | Hi Ab! RT @ABHuret: Tardy to the party --- sorry. Hi All : ) #bcsm | |
| annwax | @Bethlgainer The remarks that people say are unbeleivable. #bcsm | |
| HeartOverdBars | @DrAttai Good question. Not me. I've had a lot of therapy LOL #bcsm | |
| jodyms | @danceswithpens Absolutely! #bcsm | |
| sassyshae | @sassyshae I'd read so many inspiring stories by survivors that I felt like I wasn't truly victorious if I was angry. #bcsm | |
| JulieGoodale | @Bethlgainer No, lucky for vacay for chemo? Stupid sh**s! #bcsm | |
| BCSMComm | RT @chemobrainfog: Q1 in the beginning, I avoided my anger. Let the remarks go. Now. Not So Much! #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | @DrBeckerSchutte @DrAttai I know. But I don't know how to. Is that strange? Last year I shot a gun for the first time tho ;-) #bcsm | |
| Bethlgainer | Q1: One co-worker was preggers while I was on chemo, and she had nerve to compare our illnesses as similar. #BCSM | |
| danceswithpens | aside from the world's misunderstandings about this, I find anger toward cancer itself a regular experience for me (with MBC) #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | A1 Yes; to a certain extent, I felt the 'positivity' message was crammed down my throat.
#bcsm | |
| colleen_young | @regrounding Thank you for explaining. I get that anger! #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @Brandie185 we might be overloading the system just a little bit... #bcsm | |
| a4breastcancer | Because I have no control of all of these cancer deaths I use my anger with my cancer work in trying to help others - #BCSM #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | RT @Bethlgainer: Q1: One co-worker was preggers while I was on chemo, and she had nerve to compare our illnesses as similar. #bcsm | |
| jodyms | @regrounding No one in BC community views metastatic disease as the fault of the person. EVER. Lay that squarely on the cancer. #bcsm | |
| Bethlgainer | @JulieGoodale Yeah. Lucky me. #BCSM | |
| chemobrainfog | Wow Wow! +1 RT @sassyshae: Id read so many inspiring stories by survivors that I felt like I wasnt truly victorious if I was angry. #bcsm | |
| MarilynRDecker | #BCSM chat tonight ..ok let me show my face tonight :) Great Topic....Anger? No not me ;) | |
| jodyms | RT @danceswithpens: aside from the worlds misunderstandings. I find anger toward cancer itself a regular experience for me (with MBC) #bcsm | |
| DrBeckerSchutte | @jodyms Suppressed anger can bubble up in lots of ways-relationship strain, emotional overwhelm, and physical strain. #bcsm | |
| regrounding | @colleen_young Just MY take...can't speak for the others!! #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @sassyshae you get to do this however YOU want - whatever works for YOU. Anger is not for everyone #bcsm | |
| annwax | @regrounding @colleen_young The system making you a victim re your disease process can also make a person angry. #bcsm | |

| DrBeckerSchutte | @jodyms The way it looks is going to depend on the individual. #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | Ugh, yes. RT @ABHuret: A1 Yes; to a certain extent, I felt the positivity message was crammed down my throat. #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | A1 Given all else going on, also 'compartementalized' & didn't deal w it directly. Too many other moving parts (insur, unempl, etc) #bcsm | |
| crgonzalez | @ABHuret That can be draining emotionally. Expectations not grounded in reality and causing personal pressure. #bcsm | |
| regrounding | AGREED, but outside, not so much! MT @jodyms: @regrounding No one in BC comm views metastatic disease as fault of the person. EVER. #bcsm | |

| danceswithpens | @a4breastcancer I find channels for coping with the cancer (hi Susan :) ) and sounds like u do2. It helps me a lot. Focusing on others #bcsm | |
| CJMeta | Misleading statements. Giving false security. Implying it's the obese who progress. I've only met one obese person with MBC. #bcsm | |
| DrBeckerSchutte | @Brandie185 It's not strange. Many people don't know what to do with anger. That's why there is a part 2 to the post I wrote today. #bcsm | |
| jodyms | RT @DrBeckerSchutte: @jodyms Suppressed anger can bubble uplots of ways-relationship strain, emotional overwhelm & physical strain. #bcsm | |
| a4breastcancer | Absolutey MBC is not the persons fault. All breast cancer should not be thought of as putting ourselves at fault #BCSM #bcsm | |
| crgonzalez | @Bethlgainer What! Pregnancy and cancer? She's nuts. Hard to reason with the crazies. #bcsm | |
| DrAttai | @MarilynRDecker feel free to join in - all are welcome! #bcsm | |
| Brandie185 | I also get angry when you complain about side effect/etc and someone says flippantly "Well, it beats the alternative." Grrr. #bcsm | |
| chemobrainfog | I love the fact that the Cure mag article CLEARLY says, "no link between positive thinking and better outcomes" Yay 4 great docs! #bcsm | |
| jodyms | @regrounding We have to keep working on that. I think world is getting a deeper pic thanks to women like you. #bcsm | |

| chemobrainfog | @jodyms HaHa.. the dishwasher. I just did the misplaced anger thing. Worried abt mom ALOT, took it out on poor daughter. #bcsm | |

| feistybluegecko | Q1 I have been more taken over by anxiety, frustration and sadness. Now I get cross with cancer when friends, new people diagnosed :( #bcsm | |

| DrAttai | @chemobrainfog oh, no - here she goes...everyone get ready to duck!! #bcsm | |
| ABHuret | Ah, the 'Blame Game'. Hand in hand with the 'positivity' expectation. "You must not have eaten enough broccoli, Vit D, etc" #bcsm | |
