In reply to the discussion: Making fun of someone who died of cancer, has cancer, or potentially has cancer is NO JOKE!!!!!! [View all]Lone_Star_Dem
(28,158 posts)10. Thank you so very much for this.
I'm not as brave as you just were, but I feel your words resonating through my soul as if they were my own.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Edit to add: there's a cancer support group on DU. For someone with your abilities to speak about this like you have, I thought it may be of some help. If you don't want to post it's still somehow comforting to read it occasionally.

OP
I know that no one at DI has ever made fun of those with cancer or any life-threatening ailment.
