As a friend, what I have really respected about Andy's approach is his unwillingness to have people use sayings such as 'the C word' or other silly things that all us adults seem so quick to adopt when we are uttering the word cancer. Andy will sum it up better but on one of our many talks, he said to me, 'if something good can come from this, it will be that I want people to get themselves checked and also, say the word cancer, rather than avoid it.' The gist was that if you can't even say the word, how are you going to begin to get your head around preemptive screening.
Top man, top attitude.
