I agree. The "cure" word can do wonders for the psyche (spelling?)
My dr 1st used the c word approx 9 mos after my dx.
It sure was a booster for my outlook on my future!
I never told people that I "have" bc. Since my lumpectomy, I have felt that the "got it all", so I always told people that I "had" bc.
It sure felt good to hear my dr say it, tho!
I, too, need a cure for the 25 lbs that I put on since I had taxol with steroids.
Seems I gained 25 lbs and stopped, but I can't get if off! I want to have this baby already! LOL
Wish I had the money....I would start a fitness center for bc survivors!
