I have two peeves with regards to my cancer. It absolutely raises my blood pressure when I hear someone say "she/he lost their battle with cancer". NO ONE who has ever gone through this is a loser! Our bodies may eventually give out but PLEASE don't tell anyone who survives me that I am a loser.

I also hate the phrase "cancer survivor", I am a warrior, so please call me Ms. Cancer Warrior.

Oh and what the heck some people think they have to yell at me so I can hear them, I have cancer I am not deaf, I know you mean well, but cancer does not equate to deaf and dumb and it certainly is not an automatic death sentence.
