I am a cancer surviver for going on over 2 years. I would have not done it w/o my frieds and family. I went thru a very rough period. I have people looking up to me because of it. Most kids go thru an "invincible" phase and it taught me that life can end at any time. I also have entrused my life in God.

well, i know someone who is a cancer survivor and i really respect him, but it's really hard if your friends and family are not around for such an ordeal. i do respect you as well, for coming through it and still having a positive outlook on life. yes, anyone's life can end at any time, even people who think they are healthy or invincible. But i've also noticed one thing, that these diseases always happens to people who are full of life, and strong people, and that's how they come through it as survivors. i guess we should all just be grateful for each day of health that we and people around us have and try to live each day to the fullest.

I appreaciate the support. It is very hard as u know for someone to go thru cancer and equally as hard for the people who are close to them as well to cope. all we can do is be there for them and support them in whatever way we can. and I thank u for doing that for ur friend. It renders me spechless to see the countless numbers of people that back up our survivors and those who are still battling it. My words of wisdom for us is to stay strong, have faith in God and keep fighting.
