Privacy ....... what is that? I can't remember

Ok, so I do share a lot about what is going on with me in this situation. For the most part, I really don't mind. My chest is a hot topic because of what is going on, otherwise before it just consisted of two average sized, non exciting boobs. (well, I liked them)

Anyways, so I have only one left. (even that ones days are numbered)

I need balance, I need something fake until I get my new set of boobies. So, I need to go to a specialty shop to get fitted by people who are trained and supposedly have a bit of ........ compassion? I guess that is the word I am looking for.

Where better to go than to a shop that is a branch of the BC Cancer Agency/Foundation.

I found one not too far away, Think In Pink. It is located in Mission.

So anyways, I did this about a week or so ago and got fitted for the HUGE granny bra and form.

Like I mentioned, I do share a lot with friends, some family and on here. However, I find out from my grandfather (who I really don't discuss all of this with in detail and he is not as computer savvy to find my blogs) that I had gotten fitted at a particular store for a prosthetic a week ago. ?????

The woman running the store discussed ME personally ( using my name ) with another volunteer from the cancer agency who just happened to be my grandfathers sister in law. Very small world. I had for one thing, no idea my grandfathers sister in law (whom I refer to as my aunt) had anything to do with volunteering or whatever with the cancer agency and for sure not that location.

The two of them had both been discussing my personal business with others.

So now, any family or friend of the family that I did not go into any detail with, has all the details. My grandfather does not seem to get it that it was wrong for both the store owner and y aunt as a volunteer to be discussing me with everyone.

I do know that even volunteers that work with patients, or patient information etc. do have the same restrictions as Dr.'s, MOA's etc to not discuss patients or their files with anyone. She does have some privacy policy since I have to actually bring her in a prescription from my oncologist.

My aunt makes me angry that she would relay the information that she in the first place should not have to other family.

My grandfather does not see the problem with his sister in law flapping her gums discussing my personal business. If I complain and I get somewhere and she gets in trouble, it will be me it all falls on and I will be the "bad guy" So, to avoid stirring up crap in my family, I have to just smile and pretend that its all good while I know that my aunt is just full of gossip and I unwillingly gave her even more new material to phone everyone up in her address book to go on about.

So, my point is, anyone who needs any type of service from that store, don't bother going there unless you like your private information strewn about town. If you want to stay private, that is not the place for you.
