When the doctor told me I had cancer, I was scared.

The word 'cancer' carries with it enormous fear, fear for the future, fear for family.

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

Cancer is a scary thing and you have to deal with it seriously.

My biggest fear in life is losing the people I love, and the thing with cancer is that it seems that you can't really control it.

Once cancer happens it changes the way you live for the rest of your life.

It seems everybody has been somehow affected by cancer, either through a relative or a close friend or somewhere, and they know how devastating cancer can be. And they see me, and I refuse to let it affect how I live and what I do.

We all live in fear of cancer, but to be told you have skin cancer was terrifying.

When the person you love has cancer, they are, in a sense, living on Planet Cancer. They are in a place where you are not. And you can't follow them.

Having cancer is a lonely experience. It is the one time in your life that you cannot ask those closest to you, 'What should I do?' It's too heavy a burden to place on another person. This is your life, your decision, and cancer kills.
