Recently, there has been a lot of controversy over folks who eschew the traditional "Merry Christmas" greeting for blander, more inclusive holiday wishes.

That’s what I got for Christmas about 2 years ago. Got diagnosed with a tumor in my liver about the size of a grapefruit. After about 6 TACE treatments by the grace of God,I’m in remission.

It would really suck to be the one person who didn’t get a “Please disregard” follow-up.

I’m sorry but I broke out laughing when I read that headline. Must be the flu meds the doc has me on but it’s funny.

Imagine the patients who will get an apology for the apology because they really do have cancer.
