      Cancer is cancer and other things are not cancer. So, for accuracy’s sake and stuff, can you.... not do this? Thanks, a reporter with actual cancer.

      Sorry about your cancer. I say that because cancer is super shitty--I think that's @JohnJHarwood 's point, but (and sensitively), as a writer what metaphor would you substitute?

      Bad. Dangerous. Threatening. Any word that is literally not a disease that physically affects human beings. We wouldn’t accept “X is AIDS,” because it’s offensive and inaccurate. I reject “X is cancer” on the same grounds.

      Your argument seems to be against metaphors in general. "The boss flooded our emails," contains as a metaphor a type of disaster that kills people. Not saying you're wrong. Not saying you must continue in my pedantic discussion, but interested in your reply if you do

      My argument is against using a disease that is literally killing me as a metaphor for anything else.

          A disease that indicates a corrupting / perverting of one's very own cells to kill from within.

          So. You’re trying to explain cancer to a cancer patient. Please leave me alone now. Thanks.

          Just a point about Harwood's metaphor. Sorry to aggravate
