I'm not sure if it was intentional or if I simply didn't think I was supposed to bring it up. I remember going around the room - each woman sharing her own story - and at times, feeling like I really didn't belong. It was tough for me, Darla. I had a difficult time identifying with some of the women who had undergone major surgeries -- including re-construction and not fully understanding what they were enduring at the time. Since my experience was so "out of the box" for a BC survivor, I eventually found I could identify more with others who had lung cancer or my friend who had testicular cancer and underwent lung surgery. Very strange! However, I remain a strong advocate for support groups. It's important for the individual to find the right "fit" but when he or she does, it will make a big difference & I know it helps. Pink Hugs meant a lot to me and I'm so glad I was able to participate in the sessions I did. Plus, it also gave me the chance to meet many wonderful people including you. I made some lasting friendships for which I am very grateful. Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts and for being an avid reader of my blog. I will see you real soon -- MSABC is just around the corner!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109917436333142319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708959464569594142.post-85981385275572137112011-08-19T22:27:42.330-04:002011-08-19T22:27:42.330-04:00Another post that tears at my heart.

I'm beginning to realize more and more that most of us used to put on a "brave front" at group and didn't really share what's going on.Darlanoreply@blogger.com
