Sh*t Girls Say to Girls with Breast Cancer

[niagarafallsblues]

I kept getting, "You've got such a great attitude." I really want to scream, What kind of attitude am I suppose to have?!! This sucks, but here's nothing I can do about it!!"

[plcollins1987]

People get caught up in the myth that cancer is caused by one thing. They hear something is linked to cancer in lab mice and avoid it, meanwhile, they forget all the other things, the main one being the shit companies put in food. The same way we shower to clean our skin, we have to cleanse the inside of our bodies. Cancer isn't 100% avoidable, but neither is anything else. People have been cured of cancer outside of conventional medicine, but not all by the same thing.

This is soooooo true !!! Love your video !! FUNNY and TRUE !!! from a breast cancer survivor !! :)

[Jeannanix]

oh yeah, thats my favorite, " But youre ok now, right?"

[kmhall980]

"You are healed!" "Stop acknowledging it. You're just giving it power." "Are they going to have to cut IT off?" It's been 14 years and this video still made me laugh from the memories.

It seems like the lesson here is to never talk to someone with cancer. Ever.

Sorry, not helpful.

My aunt heard a lot of these when she was going through Hodgkin's disease. I was a little kid at the time, so I might've even said some of these without knowing their effects.

I wonder if the word "cancer" cuts off the connection between the brain and the mouth.

[Kaligurl99]

I don't have breast cancer but if I did and someone said stuff like this to me all the time... Well, I'd slap them. It's not because deodorant, it's not from being "fat", it's not because you did/didn't breastfeed, and it's not from eating soy! Some people are so stupid. I should know, I've been to public school!

[dperezg23]

this is so fuckn retarded u dont joke about someone that has cancer its just not rite

[ODDGIRLINVIDEOS]

@dperezg23 38 people here disagree with you...

[zumpano33]

Love it!

[dermotheaney]

you're on boingboing. thats big :) 

[dermotheaney]

Bless , your friends have no tact at all. Every word of that was so humiliating (for you i can imagine). Good on you for making this and fighting of oul C dog.

[indigobluepics]

Also

"But you're OK now, right?" Hope so!

"Well, at least they caught it early..." How do YOU know?

"Wow, you look good!" You were expecting...?

"You know that chemo is good for your skin, right?" Hey, I'll call my oncologist; he can set you right up for some of that beauty treatment.

"I can't believe you're going to pass up a free boob job." You know it's NOTHING like getting implants, right? And I'm sick of surgeries & pain & hospitals. And I am not defined by my boobs or lack thereof!

[Soloquedanpalabras]

Thank you for sharing this!! :)

[wheelofmasks]

*facepalm* I am SO goddamn sorry. The human race is a big ball of derp. :)

[Tenwii]

"Did you smoke? Did you eat too much soy? Did you used to be fat?" Basically "What did you do that I don't do, so I don't have to be scared for myself?" Thanks! I'm not crazy after all... :

[lanikaibabe]

Love it! Oh and here's one... I heard (your hair) will come back even better than it was before! Or at least it's only stage 2. Could be stage 4. Idiots!
