My favorite one is this: "Everything happens for a reason." My mental response is: "Why don't you just go %$&*@#$ yourself." But I don't say anything. I just nod a little and figure they mean well so why challenge it.
Diagnosed in March 2011. Treatment ended May 28, 2011. Back of tongue cancer with one lymph node(stage 4). Feeding tube 5 - 2011, to 9 - 2011. Some saliva and taste. Eating most foods; meat, fish and dry foods not so well. Swallowing pretty normal otherwise. Doing well now. The future? Who knows.
