| Have you ever noticed how people talk when someone dies of cancer? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Why, whatever do you mean? | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| They always say "So and so lost their battle with cancer..." | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Oh, right, I have indeed noticed that. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Anyone who's ever lived one day with cancer has not lost a battle; anyone who has ever done chemo is a warrior. No matter what. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Right. And you never hear "So and so lost their battle with diabetes, heart disease or obesity. Why do we speak of people who die of cancer as if they are losers? | |
