Cancer Lobotomies

Something good can come from cancer — I hope some laughs.  If anyone out there undergoes a character lobotomy let me know.  ‘I found out I had breast cancer, dropped all my movie contracts, refused treatment and went to work with leper colonies’ … right, let me know when that happens.  And by the way, talked to the Fox TV news crew and miraculously enough the cancer never returned.  Fox calls her a ‘cancer survivor’ and a year later we mourn her tragic death. She did so much good in the little time she had left.  Hubris.  My pet peeve is people who call themselves cancer survivors.  What, you mean you didn’t get hit by a car yet?  Let me know when you die cancer-free or live after the primordial five years.  But the media hails cancer survivors after their first bout of chemo.  Give me a break, or at least some real hope.
