Today I had a young guy come up to me - couldn't be more than 25, and tell me; "I am a survivor too".
I was a little taken aback - his assumption being that I have achieved survivor status. I just smiled and asked how long - and he replied, "13 years".
The whole idea of "survivor" has been on my mind lately. Nike sells these really cool livestrong survivor t-shirts, but I haven't bought one yet. Which really got me thinking.
Do I even like the word survivor? Do I want that label on me? I feel like I have actually been thriving with cancer. It is not going to survive me if you know what I mean.
Perhaps I want as shirt that says:
"I kicked cancer's ass".
Or maybe:
"bald is beautiful".
How about:
"cancer - go pound sand".
Oh I know...
Bossier than cancer.
