You must be asking why there is a question mark at the end of this article title. The answer to this is the fact that it is hard for me to understand why people refer to a person with cancer as only a cancer patient. To me, they are so much more than that. A cancer survivor, a cancer butt kicker, a hero.

Dear cancer survivor/butt kicker/hero,

There are so many people who love you and are rooting for you! You are such an inspiration to this world, and you make me want to be better- to do better. There is no one who wants to see you thrive and grow more than the people around you. It amazes me the thousands of people and charities around the world who are dedicating their lives and time to cure this.

Of course there will be good days and bad days, and I pray that there are more good than bad. I can only hope that today is a good day. A day filled with smiles, giggles, and lots of love. I see the way people look at you. They look at you in despair, sadness, and grief. They see sadness and desolation. Why? When I look at you I see hope, courage, and bravery. I see a beautiful, happy future. There is so much more to you than cancer. You are a fighter. You are a hero. Not only to yourself, but everyone around you, including me.

Keep kicking butt,

Love,
Your biggest fan
