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

• Dear Cancer.. I'm siting here, watching my dad fight for every breath, and slowly die because of you. It wasn't enough that you hit me 8 years ago, but you had to come back and now you will take my dad… well you know what cancer?? You can't take away the spirit of a wonderful, thoughtful generous man, you can't take away the wonderful years we all had together and you can't take away memories that I will hold close for the rest of my life… it is awful watching my dad go through this… I wouldn't wish this on anyone… My prayer is that he passes quickly, with no more suffering.. he's had enough.. Leave us alone cancer.. you've done enough.. don't come back. Click here to comment. 
• Dear Stupid Cancer, today you took my childhood friend away from her 3 children and husband, and they grieve that she is gone too soon - at only 43 years old. Their pain is so great. Unfortunately, I was introduced to you, stupid cancer, in April of last year when you reared your ugly head inside the body of my 46 year old husband - how dare you! No warning....you snuck your way in and spread before we knew you were there. BUT, lest you forget that we have a Mighty, Mighty God on our side, who does not fear you and who strengthens us daily and is preparing us to KICK YOUR BUTT! You messed with the wrong girl - you took my friend, but you will NOT take my husband! Click here to comment.

• Hi everyone! I am in remission and have been since November 2013. I go in for check ups every 4 months for CT scans/X-rays. About a month before my scans I get terrified and anxious, it only gets worse the closer I get to my appointment day. I know that it's not healthy to put that stress on myself. Is there anything you can recommend to help put my mind at ease so I can stay calm? Thank you so much!! Click here to answer. 
• I have recently been diagnosed with T Cell Prolymphocytic Leukaemia but because I am still in the indolent stage my prognosis is extremely vague. I was told the last person the consultant had at my stage was stable for three years before requiring treatment. Has anyone else been diagnosed at this early stage and knows more? Click here to answer.
