A lot of sad stories in a row - that wears on you.

You know, there are no guarantees on prognosis.

If I had given up everything that my life was about ... I'd let cancer win before it needed to.

My job is to stay alive until the medicine and research catch up.

A lot of sad stories in a row - that wears on you.

I do know that when my children are older and telling their own children about their grandmother, they will be able to say that she stood in the storm...and when the wind did not blow her way - - and it surely has not - - she adjusted her sails.

If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died-you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died. What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift.
