Like millions of others, I have been plagued by the devastating effects of cancer hitting not one, but multiple members of my family.

Cancer affects all of us, whether you're a daughter, mother, sister, friend, coworker, doctor, patient.

At my age, I don't think anyone is untouched by cancer.

We all live with cancer, whether it is present in ourselves or affects someone we love.

I am not a doctor or a scientist, but merely a passionate layperson, a filter, a messenger. I spoke with so many patients who are living normal, happy, fulfilled lives, and their enthusiasm and great quality of life convinced me that you can indeed live with cancer.

Cancer is something that touches everyone's lives.

I'm sure it really is hard to be an oncologist, and actually, more and more people are surviving cancer.

One of the reasons I loved playing quarterback was that I got to call the plays. The cancer put me in a position where I really wasn't in control anymore.

The battle against cancer has made me strong. It's like winning a war! When I was diagnosed, I was told by doctors my kidney, liver and other organs could fail. It was tough. I didn't know if I could save my life. But I was positive, and because of that, the doctor told me that I would be a man who would never have cancer.

I wish I could never spend another second talking about cancer and all it does to everyone it surrounds, but unfortunately, that cannot be because of my life.
