Survivorship: anyone else struggling?

I need to rant about this, so here goes: The roads in my area are littered with billboards advertising hospice, most of which show a scarf-clad woman clearly meant to represent a cancer patient. Seems like every time I manage to "compartmentalize" my cancer anxiety, one of these pops up in front of me.
Why such saturation advertising for this service?
One day I counted seven within about a twelve mile radius! Wish I could sue the company for mental distress!
Thanks for listening.

Hello. I agree we need to move away from the image of the “cancer patient “ as all it does is scare people. The same with movies and their depiction of cancer patients. Yes some chemo treatments make people sick but with new treatments and options to manage side effects we need to show that you can manage chemo symptoms My two cents!

you can add to that all the ads that pop up on the phone and email, etc. Drive me crazy...some totally inappropriate.
