Some posters have commented about her weight issue. I would like to say that while obesity is a risk factor for developing uterine cancer not all overweight women do develop it. I have been on the ACS messageboards for uterine cancer and most of those women are of average weight. I hate to think that we as women will develop a double standard in regards to cancer. By that I mean do we have more sympathy for a normal weight person as opposed to an average weight woman who develops breast or other GYN related cancers?</P> <P>My second point is the prejudice of obesity in our society. And yes there is a definite problem with obesity. I do not discount it. However, before we judge that person , let us think. Maybe they have already lost some weight by embracing a healthier lifestyle. Weight loss is a process that takes time and we do not know everyone's circumstances.</P> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 19:13:54 GMT ssfbeagle 2011-06-13T19:13:54Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Please-Think-Before-You-Judge/m-p/87345#M45382 <P>In light of the passing of Jeanne Bice I would like to make a few comments.
