あらすじ・解説
Being generally optimistic, and some might say a bit daft, has stood us in good stead for living with metastatic breast cancer. In this episode we talk about how humour and laughing helps us manage the difficulties of living with a terminal illness. And in answer to the title... Yes, of course it is!
Topics:
- What 'lines of treatment' means in the metastatic cancer world.
- How humour helped us through difficulties news and facing up to the prospect of our 'untimely' death.
- A word on social roles and intentionally not living up to what what 'society' might expect of people with a chronic illness.
- The health benefits of laughing.
- The risks of uncontrollable laughing (just joking!)
- Reasons we want people to experience happiness and joy.
