"Dark humor" Cancer Boy to the rescue

(I Raphael am writing this and when I write: I, I(myself raphael) am acting as my mom since I am translating her previous post.) So here it goes.

Everyone knows that Florian is taking his illness with a sense of humor.

Here are a few examples of his jokes:

We had just changed a shelf with glass and added lights. Florian was in front of it so I (first example of how this is my mom not me, Raphael) asked him proudly if he noticed the change to which he responded :
"Mom, I have cancer...I am not blind!"

Here is another: Amaury was proudly telling us for the 76th time that he was going to give blood, so Florian said "I'll go give blood too! I can tell them it's really easy because you can take it straight from my "mediport". It's quick and easy!"

All of us are also still calling them "retarded cells" instead of "leukemia cells" and laughing about it (This may seem a bit over the top, but if you can't take a joke: fuck you my brother has cancer)

I (once again my mom) was talking to Raphael regarding his lost suitcase (I (myself Raphael) have lost my suitcase for probably about 50% of my flights, so I didn't really care since it only had my clothes and I have dealt with it so many times), meanwhile Florian was coughing a bit. I (here is a narrative shift) was busy telling my mom about how my suitcase was in Phili and she was very interested in hearing how I had proudly managed to have US airways lose my carry on once more. Florian was starting to cough pretty heavily, and it only got worse but we kept on talking about how my suitcase would come in later in the day. Amaury who was on the computer next to us busy browsing the internet decided that the noise Florian was making coughing his lungs up was too loud and decided to point out to us that he was choking. We then realized something was wrong. "Are you ok?" my mom and I both asked at the same time. He, while still coughing and barely able to talk said, "water". At this point we realized "oh shit we are assholes" and got him a glass of water. He was then much better, finally able to breathe properly and talk. Once he got better Amaury was pointing out to us "how could you guys talk about his luggage while cancer boy is coughing his lungs up!" (granted we did talk about my luggage for a few minutes while he was coughing as if nothing was happening). After Florian was finally able to talk again "what the hell I am dying over here and you guys are talking about his suitcase!" Our next reaction was normal (to us), my mom and I started laughing uncontrollably about how we are terrible people and were literally talking about something I didn't care about while he was choking. We did feel bad and he is still alright so everything is fine.

Apparently, while in the hospital he also decides to pass everyone while saying "Priority for the cancer boy!"

More to come in the following episode.
