Actually, people dare to blame people with cancer for their personal flaws or weakness all the time. They are blamed for their "cancer prone personalities" and their bad health habits. I read an article by a woman with lung cancer who was one of the 15% of women with lung cancer who had never smoked, even so, she said, she was treated like dirt, like it must be her fault. (And even if someone does smoke, the blame should go to the tobacco companies who try so hard to get teenagers hooked on tobacco when they are young and think they're immortal. Has anyone noticed those "antismoking" commercials sponsored by the tobacco companies. They make me furious!!!!!! They tell parents to "talk to your kids about not smoking". Those companies aren't dumb, just extremely evil, they know the best way to get kids smoking is to have parents telling them not to. Cecilia
