Honestly I've had cervical cancer twice and skin cancer once and to be honest with you, you have to laugh. If not, what's the point of surviving?

Answer 3

You can let them know that you think it's wrong to make fun of something so serious that kills and incapacitates so many people without having to tell them you had cancer. Just ask them how they would feel if they were diagnosed with cancer or someone they loved and then they heard thoughtless, uncaring people making jokes about it.

If these people can't empathize with people's very real battles with cancer and other diseases, don't worry about what they think because they are a bunch of *******.

Answer 4

its not that peple make jokes about having cancer its that people make jokes because doctors give all these ways you can get cancer. Like you walk down the street and step on a bug, and that will give you cancer. My little sister had it at the age of 6 and we just prayed about it, and it went away, and when the doctors went it to look for it, they couldnt find it.

Answer 5

Be direct. Anyone who is making fun about such a tragic disease is either ignorant about it or nervous. If you like, you can attempt to educate them. However, don't spend too much time dwelling on these out of the know folks. Spend more time celebrating your second chance at LIFE!

Answer 6

It is funny, Just not funny to you. Things that are funny very often are also very serious.Humor is often used to make something stressful more manageble.the fact that thaey find it funny alsoo means they recognize the severity of it(obviously not to the degree that you do) Unless they are making fun of you I would try not to let it bother me.
But... I bet if you cracked a joke to them about something you know to be fuuny about your personal experiance with cancer un less they are complete social nit wits they will get your point.
I really hope this helps.
My son is young and is missing some fingers so I think as he grows up I will help him come up with a few good jokes about it. You should try not to stress about the things you cant change. worry about the thing you can. ;)
