I really don't see the big deal with cancer joke. You guys are taking this too seriously and I know from personal experience the affects of cancer ( My grandpa lost his battle with cancer and my dad is still battling). I thought it wad funny and my dad and I exchange cancer jokes all the time. So don't be so serious, laughter is the best medicine.

I like the response that Cindy made about finally getting control of your life and also the one about making positive lifestyle changes. Most of my friends know that I am in the process and have been very supportive. All of my doctors have been very supportive. I have not told my sisters who live out of state as I know what their responses will be and it is not positive. I will wait till I see them again and see if they notice or ask questions. I am doing this for me and my health and my husband and children in that order. I want to be able to do things with my husband in retirement and I want to live to see and love my grandchildren. Enough said!

I thought the e-coli joke was funny... But I could see how the cancer joke offends people. I lost my dad to cancer and my aunt is battling it right now.... I didn't take offense to the joke but I understand how people could, I guess.
