  • Cancer Quote #1

    [If you hear a] story about how eating sausage leads to anal cancer, you will be skeptical, because it has never happened to anyone you know, and sausage, after all, is delicious.

    David McRaney

  • Cancer Quote #2

    50,000-63,000 individuals in the United States and 19,000-25,000 in the UK die prematurely from cancer annually due to insufficient vitamin D.

    John Cannell
  • Cancer Quote #3

    A bad attitude from a chronic complaining employee is like a cancer; it will only spread and infect others. This can take your business down in a nanosecond. You must cut out the cancer and invite them to seek employment elsewhere. Quickly.

    Beth Ramsay
  • Cancer Quote #4

    A sense of entitlement is a cancerous thought process that is void of gratitude and can be deadly to our relationships.

    Steve Maraboli
  • Cancer Quote #5

    Absence is a house so vast that inside you will pass through its walls and hang pictures on the air.

    Pablo Neruda
  • Cancer Quote #6

    According to accepted newspaper clichés, we all go down fighting. The other day I even read that an 18-month-old baby had died after a long battle with cancer. That has become the mandatory phrase for all who expire, disease-ridden. They battled valiantly; they lost. When I finally depart I hope somebody will write, instead, that I died after a long battle with life.

    Pierre Berton
  • Cancer Quote #7

    All i have to offer is this: i hold a valid driver's license and I know the way to the hospital. I can hang curtains, flip a mattress, load a dishwasher. I can deliver a pizza, lend a steadying arm, laugh at a morbid joke and compliment a bad wig and I know the metric system. I doubt that's gonna be enough.

    Brian Fies
  • Cancer Quote #8

    All the anxiety over small things had burned off me in the fire of reentry, the fire of being afraid I was going to die.

    Jennifer Hayden
  • Cancer Quote #9

    Almost all the world is natural chemicals, so it really makes you re-think everything. A cup of coffee is filled with chemicals. They've identified a thousand chemicals in a cup of coffee. But we only found 22 that have been tested in animal cancer tests out of this thousand. And of those, 17 are carcinogens. There are ten milligrams of known carcinogens in a cup of coffee and thats more carcinogens than you're likely to get from pesticide residues for a year!

    Bruce Ames
  • Cancer Quote #10

    Although often perceived as one disease, cancer is a number of diseases subsumed within one diagnostic label.

    Mary Burton Maggie Watson
  • Cancer Quote #11

    Always find the funny.

    Amy Susan Crohn
  • Cancer Quote #12

    An ounce of cancer prevention is worth a ton of cancer cure.

    Robert A. Wascher
  • Cancer Quote #13

    And all I could do while I listened to this dude tell me how punk rock saved his life was think, Wow. Why did my friend waste all that time going to chemotherapy? I guess we should have just played him a bunch of shitty Black Flag records.

    Chuck Klosterman
  • Cancer Quote #14

    And this was to save rats, right? Or mice? You spent all this money to save mice the problem of developing tumors?

    Siddhartha Mukherjee
  • Cancer Quote #15

    Ann prayed because of a gut-wrenching, throbbing pain in her soul. She urgently begged the Lord for her life.

    K. Howard Joslin
  • Cancer Quote #16

    As a recent editorial in the Journal of Clinical Oncology put it: What we must first remember is that the immune system is designed to detect foreign invaders, and avoid out own cells. With few exceptions, the immune system does not appear to recognize cancers within an individual as foreign, because they are actually part of the self.

    Barbara Ehrenreich
  • Cancer Quote #17

    As I watched them file down the stairs, I didn't cry and I wasn't afraid. But I couldn't tell if it was Jesus or the gin.

    Sarah Thebarge
  • Cancer Quote #18

    As my nostrils filled with the stench of burnt hair and my friends scurried to clean up the mess, I thought, 'If your hair catches on fire while you're making a wish, does that mean it isn't coming true?

    Sarah Thebarge
  • Cancer Quote #19

    As the doctors told him, he wanted to scream out loud and cry. He held his heavy head up
    and clenched his teeth and fists. “Men don’t cry,” his grandpa used to say. “Men don’t cry.” ?8
    But he cried. Like a baby. He cried till he could feel cracks in his heart as he breathed. He
    cried till he knew he would never love again.

    Thisuri Wanniarachchi
  • Cancer Quote #20

    Awareness Makes a Cure Possible.

    Sydney Davies
  • Cancer Quote #21

    Bad news doesn't hurt as much, if you hear it in good company. It's like, if somebody pushes you out of a 5th floor window and you bounce off an awning, a car roof, and a pile of plastic garbage bags before you smash onto the pavement, you've got a pretty good chance of surviving.

    Patricia Gaffney
  • Cancer Quote #22

    Beauty is sometimes born of pain

    Sheri L. Swift
  • Cancer Quote #23

    Because really, what do you have to lose? Your life? That's no big deal, I promise you. When you find out you might die, you're finally allowed to live like you never have before. If you lose your life while living the shit out of it, then you've done the best you could, and you shouldn't worry about death. When you're dead, you can't screw up. But while you're here, all you have are a few things to call your own. You have your integrity, your family, and your hope for the future. These are important and you should keep them somewhere safe where you'll remember them.

    Kevin Lankes
  • Cancer Quote #24

    Because that's what unfaithfulness is, isn't it? A cancer that's always there in the back of your mind, eating away at the foundations of the relationship.

    Matt Dunn
  • Cancer Quote #25

    Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

    Bob Dylan
  • Cancer Quote #26

    blue-gold sky, fresh cloud,
    emerald-black mountain, trees
    on rocky ledges,

    on the summit, the tiny pin
    of a telephone tower-all

    brilliantly clear,
    in shadow and out.

    and on and through
    everything
    everywhere
    the sun shines
    without reservation (p. 97)

    Barbara Blatner
  • Cancer Quote #27

    Bravery is a willing decision to do what must be done. Fear is a cancer that is cured only by doing what must be done, backed by an intelligent, open mind.

    Corey Aaron Burkes
  • Cancer Quote #28

    Breast cancer, I can now report, did not make me prettier or stronger, more feminine or spiritual. What it gave me, if you want to call this a “gift,” was a very personal, agonizing encounter with an ideological force in American culture that I had not been aware of before—one that encourages us to deny reality, submit cheerfully to misfortune, and blame only ourselves for our fate.

    Barbara Ehrenreich
  • Cancer Quote #29

    Bryan, I know you’ve interviewed a lot of caregivers—”
    “Too many,” Bryan shot back.
    She inched her chin up a notch. “I’m not your typical caregiver. I’m different.”
    Bryan laughed with no humor. “Yeah, I’ve heard that one before—okay, impress me, Delilah Walker. What exactly makes you different?

    Josephine Harwood
  • Cancer Quote #30

    Built on the insubstantial foundation of our feelings, the life we had created together seemed a figment of our imaginations that dissolved into fairy dust in the face of something real, and deadly, like cancer.

    Kim van Alkemade
