I don't want fear or cancer to define me, but it's always in the back of your mind.

Cancer isn't going to slow me down.

I don't think 'Survivor' really changed me.

If I can make an impact, I want to help some kids and bridge the gap between soccer and celebrity in America.

I don't want fear or cancer to define me, but it's always in the back of your mind.

Communication. It's important to be completely open and fearless when it comes to communication. Good, bad, happy, sad. Talk it out, hug, see a shrink, text each other, hurl marshmallows. Whatever it takes to ensure a deep understanding of each other's feelings. Cancer is not a solo mission.

I don't know if anything can really prepare you for 'Survivor,' but since I grew up as an athlete, the physical aspect came to me more easily.
