When I found out I had cancer, I just said one thing: 'I want to hold on to life' and that changed everything for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you get cancer, it's like really time to look at what your life was and is, and I decided that everything I've done so far is not as important as what I'm going to do now.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, like so many other people, my life changed forever.
My cancer allowed me to explore who I really was. Now I feel like a woman who's able to handle whatever life has dealt her.
I can look at cancer as a disease that picks me out and 'why me,' or I can look at it through love and say, 'This is a wake-up call. This is my body telling me: 'Hey, you're out of balance here. It's time to get in line with yourself.'
I've kind of got an out in cancer. It keeps things in perspective for me.
My cancer scare changed my life. I'm grateful for every new, healthy day I have. It has helped me prioritize my life.
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.
I'm holding onto the hope that there is some reason that I got cancer and there is something - that may not be very clear to me right now - but that I will do.
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.
Now I'm fighting cancer, everybody knows that. People ask me all the time about how you go through your life and how's your day, and nothing is changed for me.
