When i inevitably get my #cancer/s, i will unambiguously call it cancer, not some pathetic euphemism. As i already know that i will not bother fighting it, i will characterise my remaining time as a period in which i am dying, not some other stupid euphemism like "passing", ffs.

I simply do not understand humans being afraid of words. 🤯🙄🤦‍♀️
