What an interesting quote and interview.
I think we all see cancer differently. Whether it has grown from within or we fee it invaded us, whether we battle or cajole it to be gone.
I've personally never felt passive. I've felt empowered and informed in my choices and realities about the possible impact of the choices.
For me I never liked battling. Struggling, challenged - yes - in command of my body. Focused on living as best I can.
No matter how old we are there seems to be more one wants to do, see, achieve.
Thank you. X
