I agree, no such thing as a "good" cancer, but I refer to the two kinds I've had as "good" or "kiddie" cancers": thyroid and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I still have lymphoma, and will the rest of my life, but the kind I have is treatable and manageable, and, I always try to focus on, low-grade and non-aggressive. I had surgery for thyroid cancer and chemo for the lymphoma, and hope I'll never have to do chemo again, but I consider these cancers "good" and consider myself lucky 'cause I compare 'em to what my only sibling, my older sister, and her only child, a son, endured and died from in their 20s: brain cancer. Hell, I had thyroid surgery just months after my sister was operated on for brain cancer and I don't even consider what I had "real" cancer.

As I told my doc when he called to tell me a biopsy showed I had lymphoma (and as I told my girlfriend yesterday when my car "died" -- needed a new battery): well, at least it ain't brain cancer.
