In the most extreme characterization, breast cancer is not a problem at all, not even an annoyance- it is a “gift”, deserving of the most heartfelt gratitude. One survivor turned author credits it with revelatory powers, writing in her book The Gift of Cancer: A Call to Awakening that “cancer is your ticket to your real life. Cancer is your passport to the life you were truly meant to live.” And if that is not enough to make you want to go out and get an injection of live cancer cells, she insists, “Cancer will lead you to God. Let me say that again. Cancer is your connection to the Divine.”

Mira tú qué cosas, yo pensaba que me desmotivaba fácilmente, pero ahora veo que me motivo fácilmente también: no necesito un cáncer. Y si resulta que el cáncer te conecta con lo “Divine”, Virgencita, que me quede como estoy. :p
