Hi all . I often joke about my cancer and my mortality find it funny have a good laugh then find I've I've offended a perfectly healthy person. I think that is funny in itself . I've always been that way though and I can't change now I've got terminal lung cancer with various mets around my body. I just can't bite my tongue sometimes especially at work when people have had time off for headaches a cold where they force a sneeze about once at work or they loudly blow their nose to show just how ill they really were. Oh dear a paper cut ohh you should go to A & E . Tut tut how painful. I overhear conversations about how they have suffered and often think I wish I had your life it is so simple, they often forget you are Sick all the time and always in pain . and they make every painful noise they can think of whenever they get up from their desk etc. then if you make a joke about yourself they give you dirty looks of horror. I've always had a positive attitude to my cancer , but I was a bit of a pessimist before I was diagnosed my personality changed that day. Now I just find humour everywhere ,except my blip with the steroids . But now it's all coming back its good to laugh again. Does anyone else joke about it or do you bite your tongues in fear of offending someone.
