This author hits the main point of my entire topic. Daniel Menaker, a recurrent cancer patient himself, looks forward to the demilitarization of cancer talk.
His audience is the people who use the military slang, since they are the ones that need to hear - or see - it. They need to learn how it affects others, since they could seriously hurt or anger someone if they just toss this kind of slang around.
He speaks, of course, as a cancer patient who takes some offense to this slang. He does, however, endorse military talk when in privacy as a means of motivation, but not publicly.
The occasion is addressing the media who's been abusing this slang recently, and the subject is to show why cancer talk should be demilitarized. The media, I believe, is the root of this problem. They make many issues things to be toyed with and it takes away from the seriousness of the situation.
The tone of this whole peace is satirical but serious, since he adds some humor to the ignorance of the public. I feel as though there's a bit of anger, but not too much at the same time. He clearly has a position on this issue, and can relate to it because of his own personal problems.

About the Author - Roger S. Cicala
Another book I'm reading for my argumentative topic is "The Cancer Pain Sourcebook". The author, Roger S. Cicala, comes from The Methodist Comprehensive Pain Insitute which began in 1996.
Cicala found experiences and used specialties from other doctors to compile useful information to cancer patients.
Each doctor is given a different approach with rehabilitation of one single patient among all the rest of the doctors.
This makes it so seeing which types of rehablilitation work and others that don't is more effective.
These doctors follow a guideline with three specific points so that the rehabilitation can more controlled.
This gives the audience who reads this book a reassurance that these methods are monitered and can be effective.
The speaker talks as several different doctors, trying to meet on the level of the audience.
These doctors devotion to the cause is very heartwarming, since nowadays cancer spreading more throughout the population.
The subject of this book is to help each reader to find an effective way through rehabilitation.
The tone of this book is instructional and helpful, because of all the different methods to deal with cancer.
This shows how compassionate the doctors can be towards this issue, even in the homelives of the patients.
This is no issue to be laughed at, so it should be given the respect it deserves and have a more suppotive popualce behind it.
