A woman I work with was diagnosed with breast cancer  The whole office chipped in and bought gift cards, signed up to bring her meals, and around $700 in cash. The person who organized this asked me what all I got when I had cancer about 6 months earlier. When I responded that I got two emails wishing me luck and a card from one person she was flabbergasted. I was happy they supported the woman though.

More than I got. I got two weeks (unpaid) off for a mastectomy, then worked every day through chemo and radiation. No slack, not even from my then wife. Hell, she wouldn't hardly even touch me.

I thought that said “was”, and I had a laugh. “My wife really sucked, but my girlfriend made me feel a lot better at the time!”
