Though no one walks away knowing anything more about cancer. Which, to me, is more revealing about their immaturity, their lack of ability to construct a true campaign, and their lack of empathy for others.<br Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081793919169564426.post-4153038799759390902011-09-04T11:16:42.266-05:002011-09-04T11:16:42.266-05:00@lost - there very well could be regional translat...@lost - there very well could be regional translations on this theme.

Thank you for your candor about your situation. I learned something about myself today and was reminded we often don't know what goes on in someone else's life.<br /><br />I wondered what the update on FB that ended up in my updates was about. Not certain how they connect to cancer awareness.

Since when do jokes about PG raise awareness about cancer? What about all the other cancers? What about all the other diseases that need awareness raised? Why is this the only one that gets talked about?
