While I may never be in remission from cancer, I am currently in remission from an unhealthy relationship to food.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't eat fast food any more, not since I got cancer.
My appreciation for cooking and healthy living came from watching my best friend die from liver cancer in 2008. I realized that I needed to make some big changes if I wanted to be around for a long time, so now I'm more cautious of how much I eat, what I'm eating, and how often.
Once cancer happens it changes the way you live for the rest of your life.
I have been unexpectedly confronted with my own mortality as I was told that I had cancer.
The cancer is in remission, and I will shortly go on a drug maintenance regimen to keep it there.
Cancer does give you a new rejuvenation. I know what it's like to be down. I lost a couple of good friends - Larry Hagman and Nick Ashford - who had the same type of cancer that I did, and that makes you think.
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?
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.
It's clear to you immediately that you can have anything you want when you have cancer.
I have no cancer. I have four illnesses, but they are not fatal.
