People Mag Listens to Jill!
My friend Jill, an assertive cancer patient if there ever was one, was interviewed by People magazine for its story in the current issue on Elizabeth Edwards' breast cancer recurrence.
Jill also has metastatic breast cancer and is a blogger. Her story is told in just a few sentences in a sidebar, "When Breast Cancer Returns." The best bit is the quote: "This is not the life I planned, but it's a good life anyway."
Thanks, Jill.
People managed not to push too many of my hot buttons in writing about Edwards, although the headline on the story is PINK, and the cover teases the story: "Elizabeth Edwards: Her Brave Cancer Fight."
Ever notice how people with cancer are always "brave"? Or "courageous"? I've written about that before. Here's the link: The Language of Cancer
