Everybody has their burdens, their grief that they carry with them.

I think that it is our intention to deny cancer any control over us.

I would have made different choices. You know, I might have married somebody else.

You wouldn't know I was sick unless you knew I was sick.

I'm not praying for God to save me from cancer. I'm not. God will enlighten me when the time comes. And if I've done the right thing, I will be enlightened. And if I believe, I'll be saved. And that's all he promises me.

I have less energy than I did when I was a younger parent, although I was never really a young parent.

This diagnosis is a reminder that this is the life you've got. And you're not getting another one. Whatever has happened, you have to take this life and treasure and protect it.
