Since I work for hospice, every patient I see is dying, many from cancer. Those memes make me SO angry. Firstly, I will never repost something with that manipulative crap at the end, I don't care what it's about. Secondly, turning someone's battle with a terrible illness into a stupid bullet point is demeaning and condescending. I'm not even going to get started on what I think of Hollywood portrayals . . .
I spent 4 months going through tests for breast cancer (pre-having an LJ) and find the "post what color your bra is" thing really offensive. I turned out not to have cancer, but because of extreme pain, I couldn't ever WEAR a bra for several years. A close friend of mine is struggling with breast cancer. How does joking on facebook help her? :P
