Re: “ For some with breast cancer, a darker shade of pink,” Sept. 27 Colorado Voices column.
Thank you for publishing Siobhan Sprecace’s column in last Sunday’s paper. For many who are diagnosed with cancer — breast or another type — the outcome is to be cured or to die. But more and more people end up living with cancer for a long time.
I was diagnosed with stage IV thyroid cancer in February 2014. I’ve been through three surgeries, multiple radiation and radioactive iodine treatments, and am now on oral chemotherapy.
Sprecace’s column spoke to me and did a great job illustrating how she, I, and many other people live with cancer. Thank you.
Steve Zielonka, Denver
