The word "Survivor."

I don’t view myself as a survivor although I appreciate that this word has helped many women who have undergone and continue to undergo treatment for breast cancer. Five years post chemo, radiation, bilateral mastectomies, and aromatase inhibitors the cancer returned on my liver. I am one of the many women living with cancer and it has become part of my life.
Whatever gets you through, you do. If it’s a word, a color, Buddha, Allah, Jesus,
or the universe, go for it. May we all find that inner peace.

I'm reading this an I'm saying -- what the heck? As I always say, each person's case is so different! Lots of lessons here. Would be helpful to know the stats (as I always say on this particular forum). What a marvelous attitude! Treatments being what they are, I think more and more will be "living with cancer" May we all find the inner peace you have!
