We all live with cancer, whether it is present in ourselves or affects someone we love.

Cancer is something that touches everyone's lives.

Cancer affects all of us, whether you're a daughter, mother, sister, friend, coworker, doctor, patient.

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.

But do remember that the most important risk factor for cancer is growing older. Most cancers occur in people over the age of 65.

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.

I think a lot of people just aren't aware how young you can be and be diagnosed with breast cancer.

I don't know anyone who's suffered lung cancer.

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.

Each of us knows a few or several young people whose lives have been devastated by cancer. I don't mean to be nihilistic about it, but it is very much an active killer of people now.
