Are there some topics that can't be joked about or otherwise mocked? I remember George Carlin taking on the issue of rape, solely to make the point that he believes we need to be able to laugh at everything.
Leroy broached the same subject a few daze ago in his blog and a number of folks chimed in. Many had tales of funny experiences related to the cancerCommunity that were better than some of the jokes.
The one that got it started:
Why do they nail shut the coffin of cancer patients?
So the doctors won't do just one more chemotherapy/radiotherapy treatment.
The doctor stands with a woman at the foot of an empty bed.
"Well," he said, "I think we finally got all of the cancer!"
The doctor said to the patient, "I'm afraid I have some bad news for you, you have cancer."
"Is there any good news?" the patient asked.
"No, I'm afraid there's just more bad news." the doctor replied. "You have Altzheimer's Disease."
"Whew," the patient exhales, "Thank goodness I don't have cancer!"
One woman shared an ongoing dialogue with the nurses and other patients regarding her chemotherapy which was referred to as "FU!" ...what are you here for? F U!
T-Shirts/Hats out there:
Cancer Sucks!
F*ck Cancer (both with and without the asterisk)
I have chemoBrain, what's your excuse??
One more MRI and I'll stick to the refrigerator.
This cancer picked the wrong diva.
And this one done by Kate, a 35 year old with pancreatic cancer, which is my favorite:

Cancer!
Any of them tickle your fancy? If not, let me share my most recent favorite:
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed.
The chicken is leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette, with a satisfied smile on its face.
The egg, looking a bit ticked off, grabs the sheet, rolls over, and says,
"Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question!"
If you've heard others, please feel free to share.
There are a number of folks who have composed lists of the benefits of coping with cancer; let us know if you're interested in a collection of those?
Gardened in the rain today. Moved over a dozen hostas; some moved to da Red House and some relocated in our Wisconsin yarden.
Best part of the day was sitting in the blazing sun while it rained on us. Thought at first it was just treefall, but it wasn't. We were sunning in the rain. Trippee!
How've your daze been??
Make nice, and stay hydrated!!!

I'm going to blog about this, but I'll give you a preview. Big Wooden Radio was finally, officially, and unequivacobly RAINED OUT. Farmer's Market, end of the first set, we got absolutely deluged. All four of us were there, the weather karma switch was flipped, but a cloud appeared, small at first, and then released a downpour of biblical proportions. After 17 years, I must say, I got wet and we stopped playing.
So, I believe you about the rain and sunshine. Mostly, though, we got rain.
So that is where our New Mexico summer weather went! Send it back please.
I am honored, WaterOnTheBreainMan, to have shared those rains -- with two other BWR fans, at that -- just two miles north of where you were playing! *bows*
We had just had a conversation about my water molecules being turned into bullets of water aimed toward cancer cells and the drops that pelleted us in the full beaming sunshine were the size of grains of rice. Trippee, bullets of water, indeeeeed!
NancyTurtle, the rains were, unfortunately, headed northeast from here that afternoon. We're looking for a bit more rain Mon., did any of that blow by you?? *waves in a southwesterly direction*
Make nice and stay hydrated!!
It's in the forecast for Sunday, but the last three storms have skipped right over us. Guess it's time to wash my car......
