Recent Dear Cancer Messages (What do you have to say to cancer? Let it out.)

• Dear Cancer, You will not beat me, let's get that straight from the start. You may be squatting inside me for now, but I've called in the bailiffs and you're going to be forcibly evicted soon enough.... I've taken the first steps to. Make sure you're not THAT strong and after you've been cut out and thrown away, I'll be taking even more - just to make sure you don't think about coming back...I've got far too much to live for. You may have picked a bad time to move in, but rest assured, the love of far too many people make me want to stay here for a lot longer. And that love is far far stronger than you are...Take this as your final warning you will NOT be missed. Click here to comment.

• I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma last year and want to know if anyone changed their lifestyle (diet, exercise, etc.) when they were diagnosed and if you feel it has helped. Click here to answer.
• This doesn’t need to come from other ALL survivors, patients or carers but anyone in general effected by cancer it’s just that is what I was diagnosed with. I’m now in remission and one of my late effect issues is vascular necrosis (Dead Bone)... have dealt with this for years but recently things are getting worse and have been bed ridden for the past 10 days on high doses of pain meds and will be going to my cancer clinic to see a hematologist tomorrow to look further at it, but I am just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and to what degree and what treatments or surgeries you have had.
