Dial back the pink

Sun., Oct. 19, 2014

I am with Carla Amparan (“Why the cancer fuss” – Oct. 12).

I survived cancer in 1995. Yes, I am happy to have accomplished that, but I don’t care to flaunt it. I would most honestly rather forget it, but you pity-seekers have to make this big hoopla every October to remind people like Amparan and me what we went through.

I love the color pink until October.
