[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you who are saying that the "friend" has a right to characterize her cancer experience however she wants and to feel whatever she feels also need to remember that OP is also allowed to be offended/hurt/whatever by the friend's choice of words even if no offense was intended. OP is allowed to come here and vent. [/quote] OP can feel however she want BUT she cannot regulate how someone else frames their own PERSONAL experience. OP is causing herself a whole lot of pain comparing her friend's experience with her own deep pain and loss. She is putting herself in a lose-lose situation. Perhaps her time would be better spent learning how to heal and live with her loss, and sadness. Sitting around regulating whether or not other people qualify as a "cancer survivor" is an asinine, self-inflicted pain inducing waste of time.[/quote]
