Sick sense of humour...
32 Answers
My son had a friend round. Friend told me his mum was in hospital with lung cancer. I was really shocked and really felt for him seeing as I lost my own mum to cancer. Son looked even more shocked and said he didnt realise as she had looked so well when he had last seen her. Friend then proceeds to txt his dad with "Isnt mum in hospital with cancer". "yes" came the reply.
Turns out the whole thing was a joke which the boy found incredibly funny. Needless to say son hasnt spoken to him since.
What a sick thing to joke about!

The "good" news in this, if any, is that the science has come on in leaps and bounds and there is now some hope for recovery, whereas ten years ago it was just about a guaranteed death sentence.
It sounds like you are keeping everything as pragmatic as possible and that is the way to go at this time.
It's not easy though and I am sure all AB thoughts are with you.
You have also reminded me that my next colonoscopy is due, the old man having passed away at 58 of that. You are right, Jake - if it's in the family history, get it checked out, particularly as you enter your 50s.

So sorry to hear that Jake. I don't know of anyone, personally, who has not been affected by cancer within the family in one way or another and my thoughts are with you and your wife and family.
As to this idiot re the sick joke, words fail me.
My granddaughter has a classmate whose father is in the army in Afghanistan and she told everyone her father had been killed, (which he hadn't), and that he was a hero, but even from a seven year old I would have thought they would have more sense.
