A New Way To Think About Cancer

I want to pass along a link to you -- an article called "Time for a New Cancer Paradigm," by Terrilyn McCormick.

Terrilyn is a Follicular Lymphoma patient and a writer. Her piece talks about the reactions people usually have when they find out she has cancer -- some give the horror stories, others give the hopeful stories. But Terrilyn, like many of us, are somewhere in the middle -- living with cancer but not needing treatment, looking at it like a chronic disease that may never go away completely, but which we can live with.

If you know people who can't quite deal with that, I suggest you post a link to Terrilyn's article on your Facebook page or send it in an email to your contacts. It might help explain your strange reality to people who don't quite get it, and give them something to think about.
