'Mandamoo' R.I.P
I just got an email from the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Too long to copy and paste but it made me so happy - even tho yesterday we said goodbye to a BCNA member - Amanda Rynne (aka Mandamoo) ...
I agree that the word "fight" should have no place in describing a person who is ill with a disease over which they have no control. Unfortunately, it is the people who haven't had BC who are the ones who use words like that in the belief that it inspires an ill person to be positive. Sometimes, it doesn't matter what type of mindset a patient has - the disease takes over.
It is, indeed time, to change the way people talk about how we manage and control this disease and, hopefully, how we cure it.
