Agree 100%. But it's an illness that "survivors" have to deal with for the rest of their lives, whether or not they're ever declared "cancer-free," and that's the kind of thing I understand LAF helps with. (Besides helping people navigate the system and maintain their lives while they have an active cancer, which is also an enormous challenge.)

There's where I wish there would be more "awareness." Making people who have never had cancer, aware of the everyday challenges of cancer "survivors." Making it okay for "survivors" to acknowledge those challenges.
