When Someone Says the Wrong Thing

My latest on Blood-Cancer.com: "When Someone Says the Wrong Thing."

I do like to read other cancer patients' stories. I'm always amazed at how much other people -- some with completely different kinds of cancer -- have had the same experience as me.

Often a bad experience.

I especially like the "Things You Shouldn't Say To a Cancer Patient" stories. We've all had them, I'm sure.

In this Blood-Cancer.com piece, I share my own experience, and give my suggestion for dealing with it. As you all know, I tend to try to look at the positive side of things. That includes the sometimes hurtful stuff that people have said to me over the years. (A little preview -- It's usually pointing out some way that I'm living my life wrong.)

A few days ago, I came across a video that someone posted on Facebook. It's a song by a British group called Fascinating Aida. This is the first I've heard of them -- maybe some British folks are more familiar with this very funny trio?

Anyway, one of the group's members is a cancer survivor, and wrote a song about her experience called "Big C," which they perform in the video. It starts a little slow, but soon they sing about some of the advice she's been given. It's very familiar to me. Maybe also to you. (Also, there's a bad word at the end of the song, so be warned.)

Read my piece and watch the video. (I suggest you do it in that order.)

Hope you like them.
