So Livestrong funds no longer go to cancer research

[szsz]

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.

Thank you for verbalizing this.

While it is useful to consider myself a survivor (as opposed to victim) I don't feel like I'm living a lifestyle; nor do I feel completely truthful when I just say that I had a mastectomy (to avoid mentioning breast cancer.)
