Cancer is such a wake-up call to remind us how high the cosmic stakes really are and how short and brief and frail life really is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We may have to learn to live with cancer rather than die of it. It means a big change in our mindset and how we do research. We haven't quite reached there yet.
Once cancer happens it changes the way you live for the rest of your life.
Cancer is cancer. I've got a great life if I can just stay alive.
Cancer is something that touches everyone's lives.
Time is shortening. But every day that I challenge this cancer and survive is a victory for me.
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.
Although the elusive 'cure' may be a distant dream, understanding the true nature of cancer will enable it to be better controlled and less menacing.
Life is a terminal condition. Were all going to die. Cancer patients just have more information, but we all, in some ways, wait for permission to live.
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.
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.
