Early on in my diagnosis, I started to notice words I never noticed before. Week one: every sentence contained the word “abreast” When I was recovering from my lumpectomy, obsessing over my surgical drain, people used the word “drain” a whole lot. Today, for the first time in my career, a colleague started using “nodes” as the new buzzword to describe the linkages in our organization. Just like Obama is not allowed to say the word “lipstick”, I’m outlawing all breast related words!
Stay tuned for the updated list of banned words!
