My advice: Take a second out of the day today and be thankful for your family.

Being a caretaker is, and never will be, an easy job; in fact, it is that hardest job in the world and many times a thankless job. You have to be the pillar of strength even when you feel like you are crumbling to pieces inside.

As human beings we value the experience that comes with age. We are reminded over and over again with statements like older and wiser and respect your elders, promoting age as something to be cherished and respected.

I'd take my clothes off for chocolate and peanut butter.

I think cancer is a hard battle to fight alone or with another person at your side, but I will say having someone to pick you up when you fall, stand by your side through every appointment and delivery of bad news is priceless.

Chemotherapy is an opponent in itself - simultaneously curing you and hurting you.

You don't treat cancer - you fight it.
