As many of you know Sandra from www.AdventuresInMommyLand.com has been my best friend for going on 10 years. I’ve watched her go through the heartbreak of having her husband and 5 year old daughter go through cancer. I don’t think its funny when as a mother Sandra calls me defeated, asking me just how she will go on. Honestly those days I don’t have answers for her, I don’t know how she does it.
Comparison between having to lose 5 lbs and having cancer is not funny. It’s not a joke and in fact it was wrong. It wasn’t said as a joke, it was a “poor me” post. So no, it wasn’t funny and yes YOU WERE WRONG!

Aww, she is such a sweetheart. I’m so sorry she is going through all of that, and no it is not a joke.
Cancer is not funny at all…no joking aloud.
Whoops…I meant allowed.
Cancer is no joke at all. I guess what bothers me most is the insensitivity of the whole thing – plain and simple. If nothing else, I wish that had been taken into consideration.
Your daughter is adorable…and very mature. I imagine that is because she has been through so much in her 5 years.
No laughing joke at all…I’ve known too many people young and old that have fought cancer–and many have lost.
ANY BODY who thinks Cancer is funny should not have a blog PERIOD!!
How about supporting your fellow human beinings and leave it at that?
I truly believe your negitive karma will come back on you 10 fold and we don’t need to see it , but you will know when is come back to you! Those of you that know who you are, are feeling it already. Poor misguided dark souls I pitty you!
