Thanks for the videos, I especially liked the second one because I have heard every one of the annoying, hurtful things she pointed out. I did like the "if it doesn't have a happy ending, I don't need to hear it."
Thanks again,

Thanks for posting this. I especially liked the "I know exactly how you feel" in the third video. Haven't yet heard it from cancer patients/survivors (with the ones I've met we've all commiserated on similar experiences, but not assumed we've gone through exactly the same thing) but have heard it from one or two people who have never had cancer which has really upset me.

Thanks for sharing the videos. It's nice to have a laugh and not feel so alone at the same time :D the 3rd video amazes me how I've heard it all and I've only been dx for 3 mos! I was surprised that even a friend who had breast ca would talk about someone she knew who had such n such with not a good ending, but all she wanted to eat was green jello. don't understand why it's necessary to mention what her outcome was. Now I don't want to have anything to do with jello. Lol!
