My grandfather died of cancer. My great-uncle died of cancer. My ex-fiance's grandmother died of cancer, and I was in the room to watch her go. Saying that Katie looks like a cancer patient is not a riff on cancer patients. I'm not sure how it can be taken as one. If I offended anybody then I'm sorry, but I certainly wasn't poking fun at people suffering from cancer.

Are there any monkeys out there offended at your description of Katie's mouth as "simian"?
