Once cancer happens it changes the way you live for the rest of your life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Cancer stops you in your tracks. It really makes you think about what's important. In a second, life can change. Don't ever forget to say thank you for love and family. What good is your success without them?
People's view of cancer will change when they have their own relationship with cancer, which everyone will, at some point.
Cancer is cancer. I've got a great life if I can just stay alive.
We all live with cancer, whether it is present in ourselves or affects someone we love.
When you have cancer, it's like you enter a new time zone: the Cancer Zone. Everything in the Tropic of Cancer revolves around your health or your sickness. I didn't want my whole life to revolve around cancer. Life came first; cancer came second.
In a way, cancer is so simple and so natural. The older you get, this is just one of the things that happens as the clock ticks.
Cancer is caused by what you do for many, many years, not what you do for a few weeks or months.
The goal is to live a full, productive life even with all that ambiguity. No matter what happens, whether the cancer never flares up again or whether you die, the important thing is that the days that you have had you will have lived.
To those out there who are suffering from cancer, facing adversity, I want you to know that your will to live can make all the difference in the world.
My philosophy, don't let cancer ruin your life. You get up every day and use what you have and what time you have left.
