You cannot call it gallows humor if you survive (however long that may be doesn't really matter). Cancer is terrifying stuff, but having survived it since 2007, I've earned the right to poke fun at this ghastly affliction in this sad/happy/gross/wide-open and honest field guide to all the emotions and medical procedures that you (the patient, loved one, family member) can expect to go through. I take the hit of traversing the great unknown so you can understand what to expect from the comfort of your chair. Good luck in whatever comes your way, I'm cheering for you DB
