[quote=Anonymous]I just got a fundraising email from a friend who is doing a 5k, and in his email, he says "as a cancer survivor myself..." This guy had a cancerous mole removed when we were in grad school. They took a pretty good chunk of skin, but got it all, and he never had to do any further treatment-- no radiation or chemo or anything beyond regular follow-ups and mole checks with a dermatologist. Oh, and that was well over ten years ago. I'm not ragging on anyone's self-identification; perhaps he equates the fear he experienced with the horror of more extensive treatments, and I am in no position to judge his experience. But... cancer survivor? Does anyone else find that term a little odd in this context? Makes no difference, just looking for a perception check. [/quote]
