Rhetoric of Cancer

I found the podcast very interesting. It made me realize how powerful words really are. Andrew Graystone's perspective in dealing with cancer is refreshing. I always hear about "battling", "fighting" and "surviving" cancer but never really "living with cancer". However at one point, when he was talking to the director of marketing for cancer research, it seemed to me that he founded like he has given up. He wanted the cancer to go away but he did not want to declare "civil war" on his body. It made me think about what my loved ones would feel if I had cancer and I had Andrew Graystone's perspective with dealing with it. I imagined that my loved ones would be very frustrated because it would seem like I had already given up.
