Cancer and Identity

The New York Times published a patient perspective back on Monday, but I wanted to be sure and point it out here. It's about a cancer patient who found herself using humor to create a new identity for herself as she went through cancer treatments. She goes on to tell a little bit about the uncertainty of her identity after the cancer treatments were over.

It's compelling reading. You can find the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/12/health/12case.html?ex=1376280000&en=9116e05460b514ff&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink.
