I think very few people could find humor in tragedy so quickly after a diagnosis like this. Is that just who you are? Humor a sort of one of the most important things to me and so this is a weird, crazy situation, but there's also a lot to laugh about. Do you feel a sense of camradery because you're all going through similar experience? Yes, it's a little bit like a factory. So many patients go through it, it's like cancer disney land. But there's something just nice about seeing other people.
