What is something people shouldn't be ashamed of?

Breast cancer. I know a woman who is in stage 4 and she is a very strong and pretty nasty woman but she's fighting. She and I have some real conversations about her family and their support or lack thereof. a nice lady who was nearby said the other night about gods will or plan and the one with cancer looked at me and very clearly said that she hates that bullshit about god and prayer. It was pretty nasty and directed at the other's comment but she didnt even acknowledge the woman who was trying to speak to her sympathetically. She told me during the conversation that her doctor basically said, "Bitch, you're dying" ( her words) and when we got onbthe subject of plastic surgery and implants she opened her shirt and showed me the butcher job her careless and uncaring plastic surgeon had done. It was sickening. The plastic surgeon had left a piece of plastic tubing in one breast (that she asked me to touch just to see how fucked up it was and should not be there) and showed me the breast that didn't even have cancer and how ruined it was. There was no breast, obviously, but beyond that there was a deep and puckered indent where the implant had fallen out post-surgery and the wound had gotten infected and turned black. The surgeon told her while she was in the hospital following the trauma that she had an appointment in 2 days and to just go home and deal with it.

Meanwhile she couldn't receive chemo with her open wound and the plastic surgeon informed her that he was leaving to start a private practice, sorry. In the 4 months that her wound took to heal, her cancer went from stage 2 to stage 4. Her body has been ruined both superficially and internally. Where her once beautiful breasts were are now deformed scars of flesh and skin. But shes not ashamed of that because she's dying and is trying to find a good reason to keep fighting, now that the cancer has spread to her liver and lymph nodes.
