I have watched too many loved ones and friends die of cancer and I do not care what anyone says it definitely is not a joking matter.
I appreciate your point of view and I agree, like I said I know what it's like to be around someone suffering from lung cancer.

The comment was a poor choice of words, he was not asking what it sounds like.

I directed it at Rabbit since he asked what a person dying of cancer sounds like. You know it is hard to close my eyes and not see and hear it. DO NOT TELL ME HOW I SHOULD REACT AND TOWARDS WHO when it comes to this subject it is still too damn fresh in my minds eye.
Steve, trust me, we all empathize with you. I read the whole thread. I really feel that you mistook what Rabbit was saying to the OP.

What I read was that Rabbit felt the OP was NOT being kind to his grandmother. If his grandmother was having problems, he should NOT be vaping around her. Rabbit was asking the OP if he had ever been around someone that was dying of cancer. More to point out that Cancer is NOT something one wants to witness.

I do get that you are VERY sensitive to this. Trust when I say, many of us have had loved ones die from a disease that hits the lungs. My mom just passed away from emphysema in January. I was there when she took her last breaths. That will stay with me the rest of my life.

No one, and I mean no ONE on this thread is making light of this.

I get that it hit a very sore nerve. PM me if you want to vent or talk. I am here to listen.

What upset me more was the second party sticking their nose in and arguing the facts.

BOTTOM LINE: Cancer is NO JOKE

If Rabbit wants to know what dying of lung Cancer sounds like I will be glad to tell him. When my dad gets home and I do the plumbing so he can have Oxygen upstairs with ease I will let him hear it LIVE.

I Appreciate the offer if the open ear Robin but I have had enough of this conversation

Your continuing this argument show what kind of person you are.

I just want to address this.

I am the kind of person who was trying to make you feel better, I was trying to diffuse the misunderstanding. The way I see it is a misunderstanding to a poor choice of words.

I recently got into with a member over house fires, because I am extremely sensitive about the subject and he seemed insensitive. After I stepped back and cooled off I could see my sensitivity was driving my anger more than his perceived insensitivity.

I am truly sorry for upsetting you further, it was not my intention.

@SteveS45 Calm down. Take a deep breath. My father died rather horribly by cancer.
My mother (God rest her sainted soul) woke up one morning and hit the floor after
turning on the kitchen light. (Fines) Both of then smoked all their lives. 2 or 3 packs a day at the end.
was it pretty? No.
I suggest you get some grief counseling. Lashing out at others is one of the first stages of grief.
Knowing what the stages of grief are prevent one for falling into the same counter productive
emoting that doesn't get anyone anywhere.
Your feelings are normal. Your lashing out so vitriolically are not. Everyone has their demons
that haunt them. Te trick is not to cast your demons upon others. Back in the day we called
it maturity.
Hang in there. God bless.
Mike

I will not allow someone who thinks he knows what I am thinking or another persons intentions to debate what the OTHER Person meant. That is one thing and {EDITED} because I do not need grief counseling. This is your idea of trying to help? Make a joke about cancer all you want I will blast you every time.
