I just read a great post in reaction to journalist Andrea Mitchell's announcing she had breast cancer.
Sorry, but you don't get to use past tense with cancer. You have it, then you hope you don't, but you don't know until you die of something else or you turn up stage IV.
My pet peeve is people who say, "Aren't you so happy you're all done with cancer."
Get a clue!!!!!

Oh, you are so right. Nobody is ever done with cancer. Psychologically it stays with you, even if you never have a recurrence or it spreading.
You are SO right on this one! Thank you for making this point so simply and clearly!
I agree. There is no past tense with cancer.
