I saw this op-ed piece, and really resonated with me. It addresses the whole "if-you-stay-positive-you-will-beat-cancer" mythos that is everywhere.
As a 33-year old woman with metastatic breast cancer, I am NOT a shiny, happy person. Next time someone tells you how brave you are, or how strong you are, send them the way of this article.
