I feel like I've lost 10 years of my life to cancer.

Cancer softened me up. I like the old me better. I liked being angry. It made me feel strong.

When you get cancer, it's like really time to look at what your life was and is, and I decided that everything I've done so far is not as important as what I'm going to do now.

My cancer allowed me to explore who I really was. Now I feel like a woman who's able to handle whatever life has dealt her.

Cancer came back into my life twice in order for me to understand something, and I guess I still wasn't getting it. And my husband wasn't getting it, either.

When I found out I had cancer, I just said one thing: 'I want to hold on to life' and that changed everything for me.

Cancer is too real, and too awful, and I can't make it good or magical. I couldn't even read a book where a character had cancer, for a while... But now I've reached a point where I don't think about cancer nonstop anymore, and sometimes I worry about that - I'm going to forget what I went through; I'm going to forget how horrible it was.

I have been unexpectedly confronted with my own mortality as I was told that I had cancer.

I lost my mom to breast cancer about three years ago, and it has changed me forever.
