It’s Not Harder than Cancer
The Mindsets You Need to Survive and Thrive After Serious Illness
An excerpt:
I am a survivor.
Truth is, I seriously dislike that word. While it accurately describes coming out alive after a cancer experience, it is wholly inadequate… We use the word “survivor” in the cancer community because it’s quick shorthand to count the number of people who have lived past their diagnosis and treatment. In truth, that's all the word “survivor” is good for….
In my life after cancer, I've come to prefer the term "thriver."
