Jana Rosenblatt aka Ultra Chick, diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer, maintains a website resource for women facing cancer and going through chemotherapy and radiation called Chemo Chicks. It is a community created for women to share experiences, find practical products and read articles that offer information and resources. One of the sections within Chemo Chicks is Excuse Me?! It's not easy being a cancer patient. The reasons are obvious, the list is long. But what is sometimes equally difficult is dealing with the incredulous things other people will say and do when they find out you have cancer or when you are not looking your best as a result of cancer treatments. Over 40 women have contributed stories about the well-intentioned but -- bless their hearts -- insensitive stupid things people can say.
