Just to clarify to everyone, I wasn't offended by the humorous take on this subject.
It is a very serious illness, that can't be ignored, but I firmly believe that humour can help get through it, and it doesn't all have to be doom and gloom.
Obviously this varies for each person, but for my wife and I, finding the funny sides of situations can help, but that's true for most things.
And I'm saying this as someone who's glass is always half empty!
Once I'd gotten over the initial anger at god when my wife was diagnosed, we started to joke about things. Not making light of it or ignoring what was going on, still supporting and helping her, but sometimes you have to see the irony.
Like I said, it's not for everyone, and maybe it's my sick sense of humour, but that's my experience, and my initial post may have given the impression I was offended - which I wasn't. Just frustrated that there is no complete cure yet.
One day there will be!
