[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had skin cancer removed and would NEVER refer to myself as a cancer survivor. It was Stage 0/1 and only required a few stitches and a topical cream. While skin cancer certainly is deadly and[b] it would be technically accurate to refer to myself as a survivor[/b], I also think it would be melodramatic to refer to myself as a cancer survivor given the connotations that the term has versus the very easy experience I had. [/quote] Hopefully your cancer never comes back. Since you aren't a survivor or anything...[/quote] Try reading. I take all medical precautions to avoid its return and may have to go through more if it does. In the meantime, I don't elicit sympathy or congratulations from others, instead choosing to be grateful for my good fortune thus far without diminishing what others have gone through in any way.
