Can’t we have some choices besides “sucks”?? Just because we have cancer doesn’t meant we want to sound like low life rednecks. Having cancer is bad enough.

I’m sorry susan to say this but I take a bit of offense at being called a “low life redneck”.
The logo to this site has always been “Cancer Sucks”, I’m sorry if its not politically correct for you, but then that begs the question? Why would you blog on a site you don’t like?
God Bless.

Posted on I vote for #3 in 3X. And for the record, as an Indiana plow boy…”SUCKS” is a perfectly good response to any question or as a descriptive to follow any other word…
Ignorance SUCKS
Being judgmental SUCKS
Getting banned from anything Jill…SUCKS
see how useful this word is? I am now going out to the front porch to chew sunflower seeds and look at the broke down truck in the yard.
Love Yall

Posted on October 20, 2010 at 9:18:34 AM by rigidridr Report Comment to Admin These are the messages back and forth between Susan and I on Facebook: 
Who are you? Why are you even bothering to come out of your retired community of (oh this really hurts me to say this) VENICE, Florida? I’m offended you live in a town with MY name. I’m more offended that you judge people without even knowing what we are about. How dare you! If your not even going to read what this blog is about then go back to VENICE and stay there! We don’t want your opinion, never asked for it. I have never been so riled up about someone I don’t even know before in my life! If cancer has touched your life Susan then I pray for you, but you pass judgment on people and its obvious you have no idea what we are about, or who we are.
May God have mercy on you Susan Williams Tucker, I’d be hard pressed to. For those of us that don’t know what I’m venting about check out Jill’s post for a vote, also check out Blogforacure’s facebook page and look for Susan’s comments.

Fun to Vent?
Don Venice October 19 at 9:57pm
Susan now that my temper has flared I'd like to be a bit more sensible, have you even bothered to read the blogs? Do you have cancer? Have you ever had cancer? If so then what the hell are you about? "Dignified" blogs against cancer? Are you serious? Cancer is shit, its despicable, it destroys lives, it destroys children, it destroys families, it destroys LIFE, How in the hell can you call us undignified? Are you kidding me? And you think our blog is fun? If you were in my face I would slap you. You have no idea what your talking about even if (which despite how mad I am at you I wouldn't wish it on you) had cancer ever in your life. I suggest you read the blogs before you judge us undignified. Then have the courtesy to acknowledge me or any of the others on Blogforacure.com
I do have cancer and I lost my 25 year old son to leukemia in September of 2008. Have a nice day.
Don Venice October 20 at 9:15am
Susan I will have a nice day, but please before you go and judge someone or something you know nothing about I suggest you do some research, read our blogs, see what we are about. I apologize to you for my reaction to your comments, in my eyes you attacked what has become a family for me, unjustly and uncalled for. For that I am sorry, but please I don't want you to turn away mad, please take the time to read the blogs, you may not like our logo, but I'm sure you'll like us. God Bless you in whatever you do. I to like many others on our blog have lost loved ones to this horrible disease. We do not "trivialize" cancer, its killing all of us on Blogforacure in one form or another. I will pray for your son and you.
I have read the blogs. You may be surprised to learn that I have actually made a friend through Blog For a Cure and we support each other through Facebook and e-mails.
I was raised in the South. And it was many years ago, I guess. No self respecting person (especially a woman!) would wear cuss words on their clothes!! Yes - I see that all the time at clinic for chemo. One man even wears a black shirt with white letters stating FU*& Cancer. Unbelieveable but true. To me --- that is the ultimate example of letting this disease beat you. It has stolen even your dignity. Look? Even in this e-mail he is known as the man with cuss words on his shirt. No thanks. And thankfully my son felt the same way. His chemo tee shirt said Livestrong and another one said Survivor. Apparently most people feel differently.
Good luck to you,
Susan

Susan Williams Tucke Yeah she pissed me off too. There is a way to be polite about voicing your opinion but she doesn’t get that. Very judgmental. I banned her on Facebook. Never done that before but she needs to join another group. You can no longer see her comments there. Thanks for your support!
Posted on I want to apologize to my family here at BFAC. I don’t normally get so pissed about someone’s stupidity. But in this case I had to make an exception, she attacked my family (yes you all are) and I had to lash back at her. I hate judgmental ignorance and Susan Williams Tucker is the epitome of it.
Posted on Hi Donnie, I came to your house to see how you are, who the hell is this woman ? will go in search to find out whats happening.
Donnie you were my very first supporter and I love you dearly. BUT please my friend stress is our enemy and let no one piss you off least of all whats her face…there you see I have forgotten her name already.
Much love to you and your family and of course our very dear friend Jill, whom without, none of us would have met.

Posted on Dear Donnie,
Thank you for this post. You put into words what I could not. I woke up this morning upset about this, trying to think of how to voice my thoughts.
I was annoyed, but not offended by her objections to Cancer Sucks, which she voiced when Jill took a poll on FB a while back. If you don’t like that kind of language, you have a perfect right to say so. However, you do NOT have a right to attack a group of good, loving, generous people who are nearly always willing to agree to disagree about things in order to work toward the greater goal of supporting each other through very, very difficult times. We are not hurting anyone with this slogan. We are helping many, many people. We are not wrong here. If you don’t like the slogan, don’t buy the tee shirt.
Susan revealed on FB in response to Jill’s Cancer Sucks poll that she lost her son to cancer 2 years ago. While we may not agree with her that “Cancer is Merely Highly Unpleasant,” we can pray for her and her family.
Peace,
Kathy

Posted on I’ve decided to post the messages that have gone between myself and Susan Tucker. I have learned that she to has cancer and that leukemia has taken her son. Although I don’t agree with what she did here I do feel and pray for her. I asked that she read our blogs to see what we are about.

I have read the blogs. You may be surprised to learn that I have actually made a friend through Blog For a Cure and we support each other through Facebook and e-mails.
I was raised in the South. And it was many years ago, I guess. No self respecting person (especially a woman!) would wear cuss words on their clothes! Yes – I see that all the time at clinic for chemo. One man even wears a black shirt with white letters stating FU*& Cancer. Unbelieveable but true. To me—- that is the ultimate example of letting this disease beat you. It has stolen even your dignity. Look? Even in this e-mail he is known as the man with cuss words on his shirt. No thanks. And thankfully my son felt the same way. His chemo tee shirt said Livestrong and another one said Survivor. Apparently most people feel differently.
Good luck to you,
Susan
I decided not to respond any further. Apparently Susan and I come from 2 different upbringings. I was taught “All is fair in love and war” I am at war with cancer, I will do, say, feel, whatever I need to to beat it. I don’t have time for “dignified, fair, politically correct”, battles.
So Susan good luck with your fight and may God be with you.

Hi Donnie,
I started to speak back to her yesterday in the middle of the ‘vote’ blog, then erased it, not wanting to feed into her bitterness. But last night I couldn’t bite my tongue(fingers?).
After I called her that not nice name I felt bad and posted my apology to everyone here. Imagine my suprise this afternoon, seeing what I started?
Amen to all of us. Don’t mess with my family!
Posted on October 20, 2010 at 6:32:37 PM by debbiedimatteo Report Comment to Admin In closing I would like to say, at first I was very upset with Susan, she came to our blog voiced her opinion, called us all low life rednecks and left. Susan is entitled to her opinion don't get me wrong, but expect some backlash from people if you say something you KNOW isn't going to be received well. If Susan had mentioned the facts about her son and herself this may have gone down a whole lot different. Think before you post on someone else's blog.
God Bless
