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

I try hope that in the end, we will live in a cancer-free world. We want to live disease-free lives.

Cancer is cancer. I've got a great life if I can just stay alive.

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

Together we can make a world where cancer no longer means living with fear, without hope, or worse.

Cancer stops you in your tracks. It really makes you think about what's important. In a second, life can change. Don't ever forget to say thank you for love and family. What good is your success without them?

As a public official and being so highly visible, I have a responsibility to make it very clear that those people who will have cancer at one point in their lives will be able to function.

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 may have to learn to live with cancer rather than die of it. It means a big change in our mindset and how we do research. We haven't quite reached there yet.

People's view of cancer will change when they have their own relationship with cancer, which everyone will, at some point.
