And one more thought. I hate when people refer to us as "victims." That's about as low as you can get. Seriously, what's wrong with you people?

As I mentioned before, cancer, at least for me, was not per se a death sentence. It was an actually nascent to a life sentence of vigilant self-advocacy in navigating the chronic (and hopefully) manageable diseases and health conditions that continue to befall me in the wake of my simply not dying from cancer 11 years ago.
Get with the program.
There are 10,000,000 of me living with, through and beyond cancer in the United States, 600,000 of who are still under 40 and have the rest of their lives to consider the impact of their survivorship long-term.
Think about what "cure" means to you and where you give of your time, talent and treasure. It's 2007. Has your charity gotten with the program?
