Thanks for that Marion, good piece. And I agree with what you say about the online support. The help and support I got from everyone when I came here back in 08 was invaluable and I would say to anyone who reads the boards here but does not post, please come on in and join us here. We really do not bite and I am pretty certain that you will benefit from being here with us. Well with posting and everything, hope you know what I mean!
Thanks!

People making insensitive remarks about your cancer or treatment has often been discussed. I must believe that these comments are not meant to hurt or upset you, nevertheless it can be disturbing to hear and is not something you should have to deal with.
The below article offers some great advice.Take note of No. 7 in where it is pointed out that online support can be of great value. Know that the members of this board understand, relate and are behind you, all the way.
