Had it taken away 4 days ago but might have to go through another surgery depending what it says... I am so sorry to hear about your cousin! I guess one of the hardest things except for the sorrow of loosing a close friend and relative is the sence of feeling that you did not know... But bear in mind that all people no matter what is responsible for how open they want to be to other people, family or friends... Some people might just feel better to keep it to themselves... and we can not do anything about it... I know you will be fine and I also know that in the coming years you will keep your cousin and her personality close to your heart! In the future, far far away, you will meet again... Take care and be well/BellaWESTERHUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059318875742573267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793897300409606482.post-14347289286054921892011-09-19T09:52:55.189-07:002011-09-19T09:52:55.189-07:00As for Kristin's comment, while I am sure it i...As for Kristin's comment, while I am sure it is well intended...it isn't always the silent ones who are in need of support. Everyone of us deals with our diagnosis in our own way. For some that means not talking about it; for some it means sharing.<br /><br />And while it might be possible for Cathy to write other people's stories, keep in mind, this has been Cathy's story and Cathy's journey.<br /><br />I would also suspect that it might be very difficult to tell the stories of those who keep their thoughts to themselves, who don't write books and who don't wear pink garb. And then how do you determine exactly who those people are?<br /><br />I don't wear pink garb and I haven't written a book. But I talk about my breast cancer with those I believe are interested or those who are starting the journey themselves. <br /><br />As I said, well intentioned but I don't see that this was the forum to mention that.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793897300409606482.post-69295983750906038492011-09-19T09:50:36.028-07:002011-09-19T09:50:36.028-07:00It rocks us in such a hard way...there is the guil...It rocks us in such a hard way...there is the guilt that it wasn't us and the sadness that it happened...and we know that at any point, any one of us could be that "one". Not telling you was your cousin's way of dealing with this -- knowing that by sharing it might frighten you and she was being protective. You love her for that. And if the shoe had been on the other foot, you would have done the same for her.<br /><br />This breast cancer journey we walk is like a mine field. We're treading where we don't know but hoping we've got it right but the main thing...each journey is as individual as we are.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793897300409606482.post-77817318350367793612011-09-13T18:29:28.435-07:002011-09-13T18:29:28.435-07:00Cathy,

They are the ones who do not write books, blog and wear all the pink garb- much like your cousin. Since you are a writer, perhaps you should use your talent to share their stories.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923459687798250705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793897300409606482.post-73919489785871847872011-09-01T04:15:48.093-07:002011-09-01T04:15:48.093-07:00Cathy...I am so sorry to hear about your cousin an...Cathy...I am so sorry to hear about your cousin and for what you're going through now!
