How should I feel about help

This is Heather, Im writing to let everyone know how I am really feeling.  This past week I decided to get a pink ribbon tattoo, it now has alot of meaning to me and when I beat this I would like to have survivor added to it.  Some people have made it clear that they disapprove. I am ok with that!  However these people have gone as far as to tell me that I am stupid, dumb, need to grow up, and they dont want to be inconvienced by me.  Joe and I have barely spoken this last week, he has been very moody and withdrawn.  I understand its alot for him to, but I really feel like the odd guy.  So let me say, I did not ask to wake up and have cancer, if you wanna talk about an inconvience I would say cancer is pretty inconvient especially while 6 months pregnant!!! I have a baby and chemo telling my body to be tired and puke all the time, then I have a medicine telling my body not to puke, talk about confusion.  I realize this is hard for people and even shocking, but tearing me down isnt gonna help me fight, so I am saying this as politely and respectfully as possible, for my own sake anyone who wants to just tear me down I will be dismissing untill Im in better health to have that fight.  As for the tattoo, I understand if you disagree but think  about how I feel, I have been told over and over again to think about everyone elses feelings.  Now i'm ready to think about my own.  I am sorry if this seems rude, I am so grateful for the prayers and all the help that has been offered really.  As for Joe, I really need you to talk to me, we have to support each other not be against each other.  I talked to my counselor today and she was telling me how being a Christian we are supposed to be inconvienced, and I agree.  Joe I cant do this without you.  You need to open up to me, we are a team, and if you dont feel like you can talk to me yet then lets find someone you can talk to so you can get it out and start fighting with me.

I love the fact that your getting a Pink Ribbon Tattoo! And Really who are they to judge you in all of this!? Hang in there Losinski Family. People out there are praying for all of you!

  2. Expend your energy fighting the cancer and getting better, not on fighting with those around you. You are greatly loved. Love them back. You are not the only one dealing with the pain , hurt and confusion.

  3. Heather tattoos were meant for the individual person not for everyone else. I like the idea and well I'm gonna leave it at that cause I am not one to judge (Jesus's job not mine and I have four myself). Don't know what to tell ya about the people bringing you down, 'cept pick your battles. Not only is it your life but your health as you know. No need to waste energy needlessly. As for Joe I'm sure he doesn't mean to make you feel like he is shutting you out. You guys sound like a great team. I keep you and your family in my prayers. Stay strong.
