A Documentary: The Rhetoric of Cancer

One of the oddest things we haven't realized is personifying cancer. This is an interesting circumstance since most of us use the commanding language influenced by media and advertising campaigns responsible for putting up "inspirational" quotes for cancer patients. We usually refer to cancer as a worst enemy one can ever have or an antagonist in one's life. We construct an imaginary war between a sickness and one's self. But it's not entirely human in any way. Cancer is unregulated cell growth which uncontrollably form tumors inside our body. It is precisely wrong and unfair to treat is as a person you hate because it lives within us. Cancer is a part of us. Referring to a sickness as a battle will only spark hatred toward ourselves. So if someone dies of cancer, who lost the battle? No one. Cancer is simply a rationale for one's death and nothing more.
