If you're diagnosed with cancer and you live, you're graced with a label that's meant as an honor: "Survivor." And yes, surviving cancer is a powerful experience that can enrich and embolden the rest of one's days. But what of people whose lives are taken by the disease? Anyone who has lost a loved one to cancer knows well that people who die of cancer commonly display extraordinary determination, clarity, and grace. We don't have a fitting term for those people - "victims" is not exactly empowering - and yet, as Breast Cancer Awareness month begins, their experience is just as worthy of being honored.
