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

• Dear Cancer, Isn't it so sad when people you thought cared about you couldn't stand all the attention you got whilst you were sick, I was told on a regular basis how unfair it was that I was getting all the attention! But I just said nothing, didn't want to upset anybody, cos I also got reminded on a regular basis how hard me having cancer was on them! Once my treatment came to an end it was like "ah well that's you better, time to move on and get back to normal" I can't get some people to understand how hard it is to move on! I am back to work, getting my weight down and fitness levels up and I still get made feel guilty for having an off day or feeling sooo tired! Will I ever get past the feeling of guilt? I have moved on and I am living my life, I am happy and have fun when I can. But for certain people I always feel the guilt of what I put them through....like I chose to have cancer just to annoy them!! (click here to comment)

• Dear Cancer, You took one of my friends. I hate you. I miss my friend, but she fought brilliantly until the end! I'm not letting you come back for me either! (click here to comment)  

• Dear Cancer, I've told you what I think of you before. And you didn't want to listen. I defeated you and now you think you can gun after my mom? No, I don't think so. Since you didn't listen, I will tell you again. When you fight one of us, you fight us all. We will fight you with prayer, with medicine, and with everything we have in our corner. And YOU..... WILL..... LOSE..... AGAIN! (click here to comment)
