New thing for me

Well, I just met this girl a few weeks ago and she told me that she had brain cancer when she was a teen. She's in her late twenties now, and she's pretty much my girlfriend now.  Just wondering: do any of you guys have any experience dealing with things like this? Should I treat her any different because she had cancer at some point?  
 
Also, video games! 
 
Edit: She's ok now, the treatments were sucessful

um...  no you shouldnt treat her differently

No

Why would you treat her different? She doesn't have it now.

You should probably be more sensitive if you're going to make like.. cancer jokes but beyond that no

Give her a helmet for Christmas.

@zombie2011: It's just that once a day she mentions something about when "she had cancer", and it feels like a really weird subject for me to elaborate on sometimes.

What type of cancer was it?

You know, so we can make some bad and completely insensitive jokes about where the cancer was.

My fiancee had cancer in her kidney and had the infected organ remove, leaving her with a single, over-peforming Uber Kidney.

She rarely talks about it beyond being a bit sensitive about the scar when wearing a bikini, and having to be a little more careful when it comes to drinking.

It doesn't worry me at all, beyond the fear that it might come back one day. But I try not to stress about that, as she could just as easily be in a car accident or whatever.

I must admit that I wince a bit more than I would otherwise if she comes off a horse or whatever, but I think that's normal.

I know a dude who had cancer. He has been well for about 10 years now I think; he even jokes about it sometimes.

I would dump her ass! I hate people like that.  It's great you beat cancer, don't drink anymore, lost a lot of weight, etc. but i don't want to hear about i every fucking day.

You just compared beating Cancer with weight loss. For real?

My dad had cancer too. Was never sick a single day in his entire life, and one day says "Man, my side is hurting pretty bad". Goes to the hospital: brain cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, COPD, one completely non-functional lung and adrenal gland cancer. He died three months after he got diagnosed, so I'd be pretty fucking proud of a cancer survivor. It's cheating death. It doesn't even matter if it was something stupid like, I don't know, eye-lash cancer. That shit can spread QUICK. So beating it entirely is a boss ass move.

More power to her ass. She's a warrior.

Yep. And shinigami420 thinks it's hilarious when people lose family members to cancer.

Why would you treat her different? She doesn't have it now.

This. Cancer is never funny.

I don't know man, that episode of Archer where he had breast cancer was pretty good. The Irish mob was switching out his medicine with candy and he went on that rampage... Terms of EnRAMPAGEment... I'm allowed to laugh at cancer, my dad died of it when I was a kid.

Just ask yourself, would you want people to treat you differently for something like that?

 
No, she's just a normal human being.

Tattoo "My Girlfriend Beat Cancer, 'Atta Girl!" and a picture your girlfriend stabbing a crayfish on your forehead. She'll love it.

no, don't treat her any differently. this goes to anything, to the person's appearance to mental state. 
 
only joke about cancer if she jokes about it.

A couple of members of my family and a few friends have had cancer and it is tough to deal with, but you have to be brave and take each day as it comes. 
I know my friends and family wouldn't want to be treated any differently just because they have an illness.

I wasn't comparing losing weight to Cancer, i was giving an example of people who accomplished something and don't stop talking about it. Read again retards. 

So you think beating cancer is comparable? It's not like I beat Super Mario World, or I got straight A in physics

Ask her if she kept her wig collection.
