The word "Survivor."

I use the word survivor because others do, but truth be told I believe the cancer will return in one form or another, in one year or another. I feel I " survived this round ". I also don't believe if someone has had cancer they can truely feel " cancer" free. I think the bell should represent being done w chemo vs being cancer free. Just my thoughts. If those words or actions help someone feel better though, thats great!

I share your feelings on this. My image is that I've packed a suitcase for recurrence (I expect it to happen) but I don't take the suitcase everywhere I go (I don't worry about it yet). Take care.
