I'm on the advisory board of Alex's Lemonade Stand, which is a children's cancer charity. I'm so proud to be on that and help them.

It is one thing to fall victim to the flood or to fall prey to cancer; it is another thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

More than 10 million Americans are living with cancer, and they demonstrate the ever-increasing possibility of living beyond cancer.

Cancer initiates due to a wide variety of causes, some of which are outside of our control or already occurred during our childhood.

Down to their innate molecular core, cancer cells are hyperactive, survival-endowed, scrappy, fecund, inventive copies of ourselves.

Yes, I was mad at God because of the cancer diagnosis. I thought I should have been protected because of the work I do in the world.

My mother, she passed away when I was 28 years old. She fought cancer for more than 10 years. She had breast cancer, and I miss her.

I could be a bit of a pain in the arse. Since I've come out of my cancer, I must say I intend to be even more of a pain in the arse.

I would say the number one thing with cancer is not to let it scare you because when you are afraid, it destroys your immune system.

Corruption is one of the greatest enemies of progress in our time. It is the cancer at the heart of so many of the world's problems.

I'm a huge breast cancer awareness advocate because my mom went through breast cancer recently. It really brought our family closer.

I see racism as a cancer. It is a cancer growing in us. Unless we stop it, it vegetates and grows bigger which hurts every one of us.

Racism is a cancer. You cannot ignore it and it'll go away. If you ignore cancer, it simply metastasizes and consumes the whole body.

I'm going to make people happy. I'm going to make them forget about their cancer. I'm going to make them forget about their diabetes.

It is exciting to work with students thinking about issues of the day, from closing the achievement gap to finding a cure for cancer.

But when this happens to you - and I think other people would identify with this - suddenly, colors are brighter. You see everything.

Where my cancer was, if it moves just a tiny bit... towards the area where there's no return, it stays, then there's no turning back.

Like millions of others, I have been plagued by the devastating effects of cancer hitting not one, but multiple members of my family.

I've always thought of myself as being a warrior. When you actually have a battle, it's better than when you don't know who to fight.

I'd rather have cancer than a dishonest heart. Which isn't being pious. Just practical. Cancer may cool you, but the other's sure to.

Without compromise repression would be defeated. Just as some cancers feed on hormones, compromise becomes the hormone of oppression.

What's so brave about being bald? I've not fought for my country or found the cure for cancer - I've just gone out without my hat on!

To refrain and desist from interfering with terminal cancer patients, in their use of Laetrile acquired through the 'Affidavit System.

"I'm going over the valley." (Dying from throat cancer, his doctor found him wandering around his room, asked him where was he going?)

I don't like life that much. It's not that big a deal for me... I don't want to know I have cancer till it's visible to the naked eye.

If China and India were as rich as the United States is today, the market for cancer drugs would be eight times larger than it is now.

I was pretty depressed when I was a teenager. The thing that spurred that on was that my dad died from cancer when I was 11 years old.

Cancer is a cruel killer. It creeps up on us when we aren't expecting it. But cake is not cancer. A doughnut does not creep up on you.

You hear the word 'cancer,' and you think it is a death sentence. In fact, the shock is the biggest thing about a diagnosis of cancer.

Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.

Americans are grossly deficient in basic micronutrients and especially those phytochemicals that arm our immune system to fight cancer.

The cancer I had is not at all equal to other people's cancer. I've never had to have chemotherapy; I haven't had to have a mastectomy.

Giving cancer to laboratory animals has not and will not help us to understand the disease or to treat those persons suffering from it.

Cancer is a disease where the patient can contribute a great deal of help himself if he or she can retain their morale and their hopes.

We're going to raise a lot of money for cancer awareness, give some to the American Cancer Society and hopefully make a big difference.

If you've led a rather bohemian and rackety life, as I have, it's precisely the cancer that you'd expect to get. That's a bit of a yawn.

My efforts to join the fight against breast cancer all began around the fact that women were getting short-changed in the medical arena.

Possibilities are like cancer. The more I think about them, the more they multiply, and there's no way to stop them. I'm out of control.

My estimate is that about 94,000 cancer fatalities for the future are being induced with each year of medical diagnostic X-rays (in US).

We are still working with an incomplete compass. The time is right to bring the full power of genomics to bear on the problem of cancer.

In the 1960s and '70s, there wasn't much evidence at all. We knew vaguely the causes of cancer, but methods like genomics were very new.

Telling someone with depression to pull themselves together is about as useful as telling someone with cancer to just stop having cancer

My own faith was nurtured by my grandmother and her clinging deeply to her faith when she was dying a painful and slow death from cancer.

Be gone, sorrow, sickness, wheelchairs, and cancer! Enough of you, screams of fear and nights of horror! Death, you die! Life, you reign!

I play damaged people a lot. I'm a Cancer. And I say that tongue and cheek, but I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm a very emotional woman.

I am going to cut my hair very short; I've never done this before... I want to say I had something to do with how I look, not the cancer.

If I'm okay with dying, my son is at least as enlightened as that. If I'm okay with my cancer, my son is at least as enlightened as I am.

Kings and queens might do wicked things, but they don't nag. One thing I like about Bloody Mary: she never said a word about lung cancer.

When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer, you beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live.

For most of my life I had operated under a simple schematic of winning and losing, but cancer was teaching me a tolerance for ambiguities.
