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.

Chemotherapy isn't easy. I felt very fortunate I wouldn't have to go through that.

One thing you have to realize is that cancer is not something you necessarily cure, but you want to just take care of yourself and extend your life as long as you can.

While I may never be in remission from cancer, I am currently in remission from an unhealthy relationship to food.

Until you expose the cancer, you can't fix it.

I recently have had a full hip replacement and a liver transplant, and I'm getting used to the medication.

Before I started chemotherapy treatments, I wrote down the best advice from doctors, family, friends, books, and survivors and created an 'Owner's Manual' to help me take care of myself. It would remind me that cancer is doable.

When my sister was diagnosed with cancer in 1989, her doctor told her that the cancer had probably been in her system for 10 years. By the time cancer's diagnosed, it's usually been around for quite a while.
