Survivors

Cancer calls for a Relay for Life. Survivors and supporters walk non-stop through the night to represents surviving. They purchase luminaries to commemorate survivors or nons. They hold a silent auction to supports survivors and memories. They usually are women who keep three names. ( Feminism is the answer if you ask why). Survivors maintain a phone line that encourages callers diagnosed with cancer to ask for a "patient navigator." The annual Relay for Life is a touchy-feely camaraderie, using politically correct language, ‘celebrating’ surviving the challenge from an unpolitically correct - and never to be vocalized word - death.
