What Cancer Is, and Is Not

Breast cancer survivor, Linda, created What Breast Cancer Is, and is Not, a powerful video that frankly describes her personal experience with cancer. She also shares harsh words for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the controversial breast cancer organization that has recently been in the news.

Breast cancer is fear, it’s being scared. It’s the unknown. It’s trauma. It’s everything plus more.

…And one more thing. One thing cancer is: it makes you frank. It makes you say what you feel, it makes you no longer scared. When your surviving, you’re ready to fight the world and I wanna tell you something right now, the foundation, you showed your ass, now you can kiss mine. Thank you.
