I am sick to death of being blamed for being ill!! Whether its heart disease, diabetes or cancer, you no longer get sympathy, just people looking at you and thinking, 'well, she obviously got what she deserved!!' What has gone wrong with our society? I know that we should look after our bodies as best we can, but really, it's all gone too far now.
For my part, I had 3 kids early in life, breast fed them all, was never on the pill, never smoked and hardly ever had a drink. I kept fit (well, who doesn't with three little ones!!?) and was a good weight. But I have triple negative BC which is not hormonally linked, so it truly was not my fault!
I am really, really fed up with people who now try to tell me what I should have done to prevent BC. I have it, it's hell, and we have enough to think about without the guilt attached as well.
Sorry, I needed to rant. LIfe is about living, and not about being saints, so please don't any of you beat yourself up.
Best wishes to you all,
Jax
