[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I'm a cancer patient presently undergoing treatment with an unfortunate prognosis.

Honestly, I find all the responses here to be fine and I'd appreciate them all. One of the things that cancer has taught me is that there isn't much in life to get offended over. If you think of me and send me a card, I'm going to be cheered and less lonely and feel a part of the land of the living, rather than just a Cancer Patient. Whether you mention my illness or not, I'll be grateful for your thoughtfulness.

That said, I think it's a really good question you're asking, OP. You may not know where your friend is on her cancer....journey (for lack of a better word) and emotions can be raw. I think your heartfelt words are the best and hope your friend feels as warmed by your thoughts as I would be.

On a lighter note, I'm also Jewish and don't mind if you wish me a Merry Christmas, send me a Christmas card, make me Christmas cookies or invite me to your Christmas party (which I would attend and sit close to your tree because I *love* the smell of Christmas trees). It doesn't matter to me that it isn't my holiday. I love the idea that you'd invite me to celebrate yours.[/quote]

I'm sorry, PP. I hope your prognosis gets better. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You sound like you have a good attitude and are enjoying life no matter what. Best wishes to you. [/quote]
