I have been blogging for about six months; cancer prompted me to write which prompted me to turn inward and outward again, trying to make sense of it all.

In response to questions by Marie at Journeying Beyond Breast Cancer, I wrote this post on my ambivalence and discomfort around certain words, many of which are colored by my experiences growing up in Northern Ireland.
