Personal - both my parents had cancer

My parents both had cancer and it really gets to me as people make jokes about it . It really breaks my heart about the topic. I was stopped today by a gorgeous lady to sign up for the charity and I really will love to join it as it’s a really touchy subject for me.

Parents

  • Hi p8shig

    I have incurable cancer and receive palliative care. One of my parents died from cancer. Humour is just a way of coping with this dreadful disease. If my wife and I didnt joke about it I would crack up. I am mindful of upsetting others not in my circle. Maybe make a few allowances when a joke is not a deliberate act to upset. Thank you for supporting a worthwhile charity that does make a difference to peoples lives.
