Damn. That's brutal.
I've used that phrase myself in the past, and never thought of this, despite having done hospice care. Thanks for the perspective. That's serious, you made me rethink things.
"X is cancer", "X spreads like cancer", "X is cancerous" are so incredibly common phrases. Are they generally considered inappropriate?
I'm sorry to read you were treated so poorly during your treatment. I hope you are in a better situation, if not now then in the near future.
You've been through a fair bit! Sounds like you have built a strong perspective. Your family sounds rather loving.
My guy, I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but it's just an expression.
i will die from cancer
