WARNING TO PRE-OPS: Think twice, cut once -- or else!
OMFG, I was laughing so hard I blacked out.
You really could do stand-up.
Getting the loon to admit that she had no clue what you were talking about was simply priceless!

By posting your comments, aren't you doing the same thing you're accusing Diana of - and by that, I mean you're accusing her of being rude, condescending, pompous, etc.
If you think she's being a ***** why don't you stop being one, too?
Just a thought.

On her profile page, she said she had Barrett's. Barrett's is not cancer:
What is the risk of esophageal cancer with Barrett’s esophagus?
People with Barrett’s esophagus have a low risk of developing a kind of cancer called esophageal adenocarcinoma. Less than 1 percent3 of people with Barrett’s esophagus develop esophageal adenocarcinoma each year. Barrett’s esophagus may be present for several years before cancer develops. Esophageal adenocarcinoma is frequently not detected until its later stages when treatments are not always effective.

So like a summer full of really bad sunburns may eventually case skin cancer...we can't call it a precancerous lesion until it becomes actinic keratosis and then we don't call it cancer until it is.
Some people are drama queens...I have a friend from elementary school. She's 64 years old, otherwise healthy and tells us with a v-e-r-y serious tone that she has just been diagnosed with mild osteopenia. BFD. It's pretty hard to find a 64-year old female who doesn't have at least MILD osteopenia. But hers is much more serious, you see. Like the chick with Barrett's.
