Abstract:
To the Editor: Since I believe you can call yourself a cancer survivor only if you die from something
else, in referring to my 15-year relationship with a rare, slow-growing, nontreatable spreading cancer,
the term chronic cancer seems most comfortable. ROSLYN SHARON Cliffside Park, N.J., June 1, 2004
