i didn’t say ‘it could be worse;’ i offered contextual information at a time you were frustrated others left you in the dark. between my dad dying of pancreatic cancer and my mom surviving skin cancer twice, it definitely would have made me feel better to hear that. everyone responds to these types of things differently, i guess.
Like “yeah it’s cancer but at least it’s not worse!” Gee thanks for those helpful words by telling me how lucky I am that she only got breast cancer. Also, not all breast cancer are the easiest to treat. So before you say something like this think “hm, if my relative was suffering and I was upset would I want someone to say ‘it could be worse’?” No you fucking wouldn’t
My bad I’ll be more calm and happy for you that my grandmother is literally dying from cancer. “It’s easier than other cancers” that’s like going up to your father and saying “it’s easier than being dead” shut the fuck up. I know breast cancer isn’t the worse I’m not a dumbass but it’s still fucking cancer in an elderly person with a poor immune system. But yay! At least it’s not a worse cancer! I would rather it be no fucking cancer fuck off
