We do our very best to laugh every day. There are no sacred topics, no unspeakable issues. Everything is a potential target for a joke, especially the many indignities of cancer and the treatment of cancer.

Some days, the battles that cancer brings on us make us feel that we can no longer bear it… that we can no longer fight. Even on those days, we can almost always find something to laugh at. And, once the laughter begins, there is release. Somehow, we make it to the next day.

Laughter exists in the present, the one safe place for both of us.
