Today, I went to work at a chemotherapy clinic. After explaining to a patient about the risks and benefits of chemotherapy for his underlying metastatic lung cancer, he asks is it OK to smoke during chemotherapy. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a patient at the hospital where I work asked me if he and his son could light up a joint. He was on oxygen, and serious. FML
Today, in front of a hospital, I noticed that an old lady was having trouble lighting her cigarette because she had Parkison's. So I went to help her to light it up and she then started chatting with me and told me she had lung cancer. FML
Today, I started chemo. My immune system is so bad, it keeps attacking organs throughout my body. I just got a job I love that pays well and has insurance for once, but I’m not sure I can keep working to pay for it, due to chemo side-effects and risky conditions of the job. FML
Today, my mother told me I'm going to get lung cancer. Because she smokes. FML
Today, I walked past a few of my coworkers sitting outside smoking. As I got a whiff of the smoke, I coughed. They immediately started to defend their habit, and I was told to "mind my own fucking business." I wasn't trying to be rude; I'm actually allergic to cigarette smoke. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. After drilling my teeth for what seemed like hours, he gave me a long speech about how if I continue to smoke, the yellowing of my teeth won't be the only problem. I don't smoke. I never have. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend about how a few years ago I had cancer, and how I underwent radiation therapy. His response? "Did you glow in the dark?" FML
Today, I had to tell a bald cancer patient that no, having cancer did not entitle her to a 100% discount on coffee. I felt like a douche for saying it, but I work at a well known coffee franchise and I’m not losing my job because someone wants free coffee, no matter how ill they are. FML
Today, my doctor told me my asthma was being triggered by my dad's smoking. He wrote a note to my dad, asking him to refrain from smoking while around me. My dad took one look at the note, then threw it in the trash, saying the doctor "doesn't know what he's talking about." FML
Today, while driving me to the hospital because I was having an asthma attack, my mother lit a cigarette. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't worry OP. Natural selection is LITERALLY in the process of weeding him out. Smile knowingly and say, "as much as you like sir" :) :D :) ;)

I had to go through chemo a few years back. You wouldn't believe the number of people that wheel their IV poles from the cancer center to smoke outside. Idiots. We don't want them in the gene pool anyway.

We don't need you and your opinion in the gene pool either. If someone decides to smoke til the bitter end, its their choice. doesn't harm you. And if smoking got them their cancer, they might as well stick with it.

I ******* hate people that don't take care of their health. There I said it. I understand OP's pain, I'd hate to take care of someone who doesn't take care of himself. Waste my time? I don't think so. Next Patient, please!!!

Do you have the same opinion of fat people and aids patients? They have also brought about their own demise. If you do I applaud you. If not please remember, nobody likes a hypocrite.

Lung cancer that has spread has like a 2 per cent survival rate. Let him smoke.
