Living and Surviving

I wonder how people after cancer feel about being termed as a 'survivor'? The first time someone said it to me I was not certain it kind of made me feel uncomfortable, for no particular reason just a weird term! But as time goes by I realise that living after cancer can have its challenges, on the one hand it is fantastic to have been treated and to feel well, on the other hand it's a reminder and a distinct label, one that sticks. Recently I discovered that Breast Cancer Care are doing more research into life after cancer and that's good in my book. Maybe insights into survivorship will be useful and helpful to many people - I hope so
