I was 16 when I lost my father, I was  
 a daddy's little girl, still am.  It  
 was the hardest thing to watch him go  
 through.  I blame cigarttes the most,  
 though he was a firefighter and welder  
 aswell.  I could write a book, but  
 wont. I struggled many years after he  
 died and was never the same.  Until  
 about the age of 20 when I met my best  
 friend who later would become the love  
 of my life. We were still freinds, and  
 almost at the age of 21 when he was  
 dignoised with Non hogkins Lymphoma.   
 With in that time frame we started  
 dating, and broke my heart to see a  
 second man that I loved dearly get  
 cancer.  Even though they were  
 completely differet types I felt God  
 was on me.  It now has been 3 years  
 cancer free, but I still pray to God  
 that he does not take this man away  
 from me.  We will be married in a year  
 and plan to have children I just hope  
 he can. For every person who has had  
 gone through the pain of watching  
 someone die or praying the never will,  
 may God bless you all. Cancer Truly
 stinks.

I have checked here every so often,  
 since I have created my Debbie's  
 memorial, and it with a heavy heart I  
 have seen the memorials grow. The lady  
 (Teri Roberts) who gave us this
 site is no less than a saint, 
 an angel that has been given  
 to all of us.
 Together we can help by  
 starting foundations, and  
 participating in events. A few dollars  
 a month will not kill any of us. If we  
 chip in we can help find the cure for  
 this monster that has taken away from  
 all of us. We can all sit back and let  
 it happen to somebody else, and then  
 send our condolences, but it is within  
 all of us to fight. The ones we lost  
 fought, why can we not? I have vowed  
 to avenge the loss of my soulmate, the  
 only person that mattered to me. I  
 will fight this disease to the end.  
 There is an answer, and WE all can  
 find it. We can stop this. No war has  
 ever been won by simply wishing it  
 away. It took decisive action. I am  
 ready to fight the good fight. I am  
 ready to avenge my wife. We will win.

My mother passed away from liver  
 cancer on October 20, 2008, only 48  
 days after being diagnosed.  It was  
 confined to only her liver.  My mother  
 was a healthy 52 year old amazing  
 woman that never drank, used drugs,  
 etc.  She had her 1st Chemo treatment  
 on October 9th and it lasted seven and  
 a half hours long.  Mom never  
 recovered from that treatment.  From  
 that day until the day she died, she  
 did not leave the house, talk on the  
 phone, etc. because she was so sick.   
 We learned later that the chemo killed  
 both good and bad and her organs shut  
 down.  Even though I am so glad that  
 my mom did not have to suffer long, I  
 am still devastated.  She is my hero,  
 my love, my best friend.  Our world  
 lost an amazing woman, but we have  
 gained one incredible, amazing,  
 beautiful guardian angel, and for that  
 I am blessed!  I love you mom so much,  
 and I miss you more every day!  May  
 you rest in peace!  Remember, Cancer  
 did not beat you, You beat Cancer!  I  
 am honored to say that you are my  
 mother!!!!!!

My son Douglas laid his beautiful  
 wife, Debbie to rest yesterday, Sept.  
 6, 2008. 
 The day was beautiful and clear and I  
 remarked that yesterday was the first  
 time in a long time that she was able  
 to get a breath of clean fresh air. 
 Cancer is not a disease, it is a demon  
 that attacks the spirit, mind, body  
 and soul. As this demon attacks the  
 person it also attacks any of the on  
 lookers watching the helplessness and  
 hopelessness of all. It gains  
 satisfaction from its orgies of  
 casting doubt in the Faith of God. My  
 own brother, Gerald Dench, died in  
 1953 of lung cancer, he was only two  
 weeks shy of his 20th. birthday. My  
 aunt died of lung cancer. Cancer is  
 not genetic only the fragility of the  
 body. My oldest sister, Lucille died  
 from the same systemic cancer as  
 Debbie. I myself had cancer but  
 received prompt treatment in 2001.  
 Serveral of my friends have succumbed  
 to this demonic pleasure. Douglas is  
 right, get prompt treatment, BUT  
 REMEMBER, DOCTORS ARE NOT GOD, ONLY  
 THE EXTENSION OF HIS HANDS AND  
 SOMETIMES THEIR HUMAN MINDS DO NOT  
 ALWAYS AGREE WITH THEIR HANDS.  
 To Debbie: Eternal Rest be granted  
 unto You and may God's Pepetural Light  
 continue to shine on You. May you rest  
 in Peace. Amen. Love from all of the  
 Henry Family

I buried my bestfriend today, the love  
 of my life, my confidant, my lover, my  
 angel. She died in my hands on  
 september 2nd 2008. She was not the  
 only one that died that day. I died  
 with her, only now I am left to face  
 death alone. Her son, (my stepson) a  
 good strong hearted man lost his  
 mother, my daughter a lovely saint  
 herself lost her "mom" she has a  
 mother, my brothers in law and their  
 wives lost their baby sister, and  
 numerous friends lost one of their  
 own. My world and my life is darker,  
 colder, so very lonely and empty due  
 to a disease we cannot see with our  
 naked eyes. I vow this day to have my  
 revenge on cancer, and avenge my  
 precious love. We all give tribute and  
 memorial to the ones that have passed  
 due to this plague, but we as the  
 living that died with them MUST give  
 memorial to ourselves by destroying  
 what has taken so much from us. Get  
 yearly checks, fight hard. Cancer does  
 not kill just those that have the  
 disease, it kills all around that love  
 the person that have it. It destroys  
 lives by the hundreds even thousands.  
 It destroys families. We fight drunk  
 driving, or psychotics, and  
 pedophiles, we must destroy this  
 killer. To all who have cancer or  
 whose family member or friend has  
 cancer, I mourn with you, you will not  
 fight alone. I will stand with you.

I have recently been diagnosed with 
 non-invasive and now invasive breast 
 cancer. I had my first surgery June 23rd 
 in which they took out the non-invasive 
 as planned, but then also discovered 
 some of the invasive kind. Now i have to 
 have another surgery to check and remove 
 lymph nodes to see if it has spread or 
 not. If it has....i will have chemo in 
 addition to the radiation....if it has 
 not spread i will just have the 
 radiation most likely. Cancer at an 
 early age has been a shock and i'm not 
 finished yet. Hopefully things will go 
 well in the coming weeks or months and i 
 can say good-bye to this cancer. 
 Yes...cancer does suck and i am glad 
 that i happened on this website by chance.

My cousin died two months ago. His 
 illness is not really cancer. He died 
 because of heart failure. It's really 
 hard for me, or should I say that I'm 
 afraid. We have the same illness since 
 birth. And I have two beautiful kids. I 
 want to see them grow into a lovely lady 
 until they can stand on their own. I 
 still wanted to live long for my kids.

Why Us?  
 -author unknown  
 
 Most mothers become mothers by  
 accident, some by choice, a few by  
 habit. Did you ever wonder how mothers  
 of children with cancer are chosen?  
 
 Somehow I visualize God hovering over  
 the Earth selecting his instruments  
 for propagation with great care and  
 deliberation. As he observes, he  
 instructs his angels to make notes on  
 a giant ledger..  
 
 "Armstrong, Beth, son, patron saint  
 Mathew."  
 "Forest, Marjorie, daughter, patron  
 saint Cecilia."  
 "Rutledge, Carrie, twins, patron saint  
 Gerard. He's used to profanity"  
 
 Finally he passes a name to an angel  
 and says "Give her a child with  
 cancer."  
 
 The angel is curious. "Why this one  
 God, she's so happy."  
 
 "Exactly." smiles God "Could I give a  
 child with cancer a mother who does  
 not know laughter? That would be  
 cruel."  
 
 "But does she have patience." asks the  
 angel  
 
 "I don't want her to have too much  
 patience or she will drown in a sea of  
 self-pity and despair. Once the shock  
 and resentment wears off she will  
 handle it."  
 
 "I watched her today" said God "She  
 has that feeling of self-independence  
 that is so rare and necessary in a  
 mother. You see, the child I'm going  
 to give her has it's own world. She  
 has to make it live in her world and  
 that is not going to be easy."  
 
 "But Lord I don't even think she  
 believes in you." said the angel  
 
 "No matter. I can fix that. This one  
 is perfect. She has just enough  
 Selfishness."  
 
 The angel gasps "Selfishness? Is that  
 a virtue?"  
 
 God nods. "If she can't separate  
 herself from the child occasionally,  
 she'll never survive. Yes, here is a  
 woman I will bless with a child who is  
 less than perfect. She doesn't realize  
 it yet, but she is to be envied. She  
 will never take anything her child  
 does for granted. She will never  
 consider a step ordinary. I will  
 permit her to see clearly things I  
 see....Ignorance, cruelty,  
 prejudice...and allow her to rise  
 above them."  
 
 "And what about her patron saint?"  
 asks the angel.  
 
 God smiles and says " A mirror will  
 suffice."

I was diagnosed with agressive non- 
 Hodgkin's Lymphoma (the slow growing  
 NHL is more difficult to treat...  
 aggressive NHL can be thrown into  
 remission relatively easily with a  
 cure very resonable!) in July of 2006.  
 I went through 4 greuling months of  
 chemo./immunotherapy and was deemed in  
 full-remission in November of 2006.  
 The rate of recurrenace is low for  
 NHL, especially with the intensity of  
 the treatment that I recieved (every 2  
 wks. vs. every 3 wks.). All of my  
 routine check-ups are continually  
 coming back negative and I breathe a  
 little better as I get closer to that  
 magical one year remission annivesary!

My father has been fighting cancer for 
 the past 4 years.  I think the free hats 
 for cancer patients idea is a great one 
 and not only that, but it will make 
 people laugh too.  It has been a very 
 difficult time for me and my family, but 
 I'm glad to know there are people out 
 there that care and places that help.  
 Keep up the good work, and remember

 everything happens for a reason and 
 don't forget to make EVERYONE'S lives 
 positive and fulfilling!

Cancer Sucks is an understatement !!!  
 Everything about it SUCKS! Worse are the 
 people around you. Medical people 
 pretend like it is just part of things 
 that happen. Friends try to support but 
 cannot figure out how.  If they tell 
 other people you are suffering it makes 
 them feel strong and like they've done 
 something useful.  Acquaintances avoid 
 you but it does give them something to 
 talk about doesn't it.  Strangers don't 
 care.  Most people don't care and they 
 are just glad it isn't them. All of a 
 sudden no one knows what to say to you 
 or they throw a cliche at you.  What the 
 f*@k does "Keep Your Chin Up" mean? The 
 very VERY worst are people who pretend 
 they are helping and they do things to 
 look good or for money and taking 
 advantage of people.     
 I am so glad www.cancersucks.ca really 
 seems to care.  You gave me what I 
 wanted plus a gift (which I loved). 
 Your letter made me feel very special.  
 It is the first time in ages that I have 
 felt o.k. 
 I do not know the words to describe how 
 you have made me feel!

Teri,

You are so right when you say "Cancer  
   Sucks, Life Does Not Have To"!! 
   Many months ago you told me things,  
   inspired me, and made me strong. 
   I am still just understanding some of  
   your words. I have also come to  
   realize there are few people in this  
   world who can offer heartfelt  
   compassion and kindness. Your gifts  
   that you shared with me have made me  
   rethink the world and what is truly  
   important ... Thank You!  
   Dad continued talking and laughing for  
   a long time - Thank you again!  I'll  
   bet you are the wind underneath many  
   wings!! 
   Your qualities of compassion,  
   understanding, love and intelligence  
   are unique enough I can see you being  
   someone who can AND WILL find a cure  
   for cancer. I hope all you touch  
   appreciate your endeavours!

   Thank you for all the great work you

   My dad passed away after long

I haven't even looked at the  
   website yet but I know I will. I just  
   wanted to say that I am doing this for  
   my mother who right now has Cancer and  
   she doesn't have much time left.  It  
   started in her Lungs (she was a smoker)  
   went into her Lymph Node, into her  
   brain (three different places) and now  
   it is in her liver.  For anyone that  
   will read this DON'T SMOKE!!!!  My  
   Grandma died from the exact same thing  
   and she was a smoker too.  This is for  
   the people that have lost someone....
   IT HURTS!

   I will always be forever grateful to  
   have had the privilege to be married to  
   this wonderful Irish woman for 44 years.  
   She had a wonderful sense of humor and  
   had such love which showed in the caring  
   of our two children. Her heart would  
   burst with love each and every time she  
   saw her grandchildren. Teri (our  
   daughter) started this web site while  
   Maureen was still alive and it made her  
   very proud.  Teri, when mom was sick you  
   cared for all her needs and because of  
   you she lived longer (almost three times  
   longer than the maximum given) and you  
   made her laugh every day. Teri, be proud  
   and know that you did make a difference  
   and you will continue to make a difference. 
     Love Dad
