[QUOTE="lindisfel, post: 1518808, member: 57698"] It all a question of motivation. My father in law was told by his doctor if he didn't give up smoking he may as well fall under a bus! He had copd and he lived another twenty years but struggled with breathing throughout. We never know how hard the next man finds the road they travel so we can upset some with the most innocuous remark. I can find humour in what I went through when I had cancer, but I was upset when someone I went swimming with who didn't have prostate cancer joked about the effects of hormone therapy. I find the members on this site to be helpful and compassionate. Some of us may have 'bees in our bonnets' so we need the skin of a pachyderm to stop being stung! However, we have all trodden different paths. Let's try not to get upset by a perhaps unguarded comment. regards Derek [/QUOTE]
