Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne shares a deeply personal and humorous strategy she adopted after her Stage IV cancer diagnosis in 1999. At a time when her family was the only one in their area with a parent undergoing cancer treatment, Saranne needed a way to lighten the mood and ease the discomfort visitors often felt. Hence, the "funny toll" was born—requiring every visitor to share a joke before entering her home. This not only brought much-needed laughter but also helped break down the barriers of fear and isolation that cancer often brings.
