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

• I fought you and I won, now stay the F@CK away from my two year old daughter. Come to think of it, leave all my loved ones alone. You've taken enough angels from us. Click here to comment.
• Dear Mantle Cell Lymphoma, I was carrying you around for a number of months before I accidentally stumbled across you. You were hiding in my bone marrow, blood, lymph nodes and spleen. You were sneaky. I had no symptoms, but when I discovered you, I chemo'd you out after 5 months and you went away for 14 months, then sneaked back in a lymph node again. I could've chemo'd you again with 2nd Line drugs, but you'd only be back again after a while. You're aggressive that way. I could also have a Stem Cell Transplant, but there are no stem cell transplant hospitals in Hawaii, so you forced me to move from the balmy tropics to North Dakota so I could attend the Mayo Clinic. You almost had me in a corner until I found a clinical trial for ibrutinib and it kicked your butt. Now I'm cancer free and you're out of here! Click here to comment.

Recent Discussion Questions (Ask anything you want on our discussion board.)

• I feel like I'm losing my mind. I had my left lung removed in Nov. 2012, after about 3-5 years with a misdiagnosed carcinoid tumor. Now, every time I get sick, I feel anxious, and panicked, as though it's come back. I just got a run of bronchitis and I just sat and cried for no reason because I just feel so panicked. After the mis-diagnosis, I just feel like I'm afraid of every single cold. I just wonder if any other survivors have symptoms that resemble their cancer symptoms and they feel a bit panicky too?
