ahooper, I felt that way too in the months while I was taking chemo. I was so sick, I hated seeing Pink anything. It just made me think of what I was going through.
That changed after chemo and when I started rads. I felt like I had beat this thing for now, and finally felt like a Survivor. I certainly didn't feel one for quite awhile.
Now I have the ribbon on my vehicle as a badge of personal accomplishment. I beat the beast, even if it's only for awhile.
