This annoys me

This really annoys me to no end. I get all sosrts of emails about cancer, people with cancer, research on cancer, and 'exciting' news about cancer fundraisers and other things.

Recently in these emails, there have been
  • cancer sufferers
  • cancer victims
  • cancer survivors.

Since when with people with cancer become sufferers and victims? I detest the word survivor as well but sufferers and victims? Really?

These were included in the titles of actual news articles. The reporters need a bit of sensitivity training I think.
