What is time, really? When you are diagnosed with a terminal disease like cancer or leukemia, your perception of time changes.

My philosophy, don't let cancer ruin your life. You get up every day and use what you have and what time you have left.

Time for me is double-edged: every day brings me further from the low of my last cancer relapse, but every day also brings me closer to the next cancer recurrence - and eventually, death. Perhaps later than I think, but certainly sooner than I desire.

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

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.

Time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart.

I confess, I do not believe in time.

For each human being, time is a necessary resource. It can neither be ignored nor changed.

I'm fascinated by the fact that we can't grasp anything about time.

When you have cancer, it's like you enter a new time zone: the Cancer Zone. Everything in the Tropic of Cancer revolves around your health or your sickness. I didn't want my whole life to revolve around cancer. Life came first; cancer came second.
