I’m tired of seeing people here refer to someone as a cancer.

Cancer is cancer, nothing else is even close. 100k people a month visit this site. Statistically, 5,000 visitors currently have cancer (5% of the US population). Add friends and family, and >20k here know what cancer does to a family.

I’m a cancer survivor, but my parents, three grandparents, an aunt, four uncles, and three cousins, weren’t as lucky. As a teacher I had a dozen students, and a couple dozen parents of students die of cancer.

It’s a horrible disease, and it’s sickening to see coaches and players refered to as “a cancer.” Most people who do so mean nothing by it, but it needs to stop.
