Hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your family! (And sorry the meds make you feel so crappy. Glad you could take the break you needed.)

I personally HATE these "identifiers," i.e., thriver, etc. I go with "person who lives with MBC (or terminal Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer) when I describe myself. For me personally, & for M44, we insist we are more than a diagnosis... and "cancer patient" is only part of our existence/identity.

This is Mary Costello, Founder & CEO of MoreFor4, Inc. I have a background in person-centered practices and person-first language that started all the way back in the early 90s (in the intellectual/developmental disabilities field). So, WELL before my MBC diagnosis in 2020. Lots of thoughts on this!
