"die" may not be a good choice of a word joking or not but cancer patients arent as sensitive as some may think.
A little funny story... My dad is fighting Stage 3 NSC Lung Cancer. He was outside messing around in the garage when the neighboor across the street came over and the first words out of his mouth in a quiet voice where "Do you think your going to make it"? My dad shrugged his shoulders and said "I sure as hell hope so. Im not giving up yet". My neighboor turned beet red. He was refering to "making it" to a suprise bday party he had planned for his wife. He was so embarassed he felt like crawling in a hole. My dad still laughs his ass off about it.
You need to have some humor when fighting the disease. Ive been through this with family on more then one occassion. We do try to avoid using the word die but it all depends on the individual I suppose.
