I would go back to her and tell her you feel you made an insensitive remark to her and how sorry you are. Telling someone you are sorry for something you said is healing for you and hopefully she will accept your apology. You can 't go wrong with a sincere apology. This. |

Wow. You should have apologized on the spot. That happened on the Today show once when Katie Couric was interviewing Robin Williams. He made some off color joke about not wanting to get a colonoscopy, then immediately caught himself, it was a tense moment live on TV. He quickly apologized (which is the decent thing to do) and I have to hand it to Katie she took it with grace and smiled and said politely "that's ok". It was uncomfortable to watch. WOW really you have to be so harsh with everything you type? She made a mistake no need to try and make her feel worse for it. |

All you can do is apologize profusely, explain that your mouth moved faster than your brain and that you feel like a total schmuck. But the reality is, you can't unring that bell and hopefully, she is able to forgive the momentary lapse of sensitivity and move forward. And if I were you I'd refrain from making those kinds of comments to anyone in the future. Who isn't touched by cancer in some way or another?

I think you are probably being harder on yourself than your friend would be, and you will feel much better after calling or texting her and just saying that you're sorry. If it were me I would tell you not to give it another thought.

Nice outcome. You were brave to admit your faux pas. It's not always an easy thing to do!  |
