HUGS ------------------------------------------------ Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 Name: Sherri Comments: 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. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Saturday, November 08, 2008 Name: Doug Henry Comments: 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. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 Name: Marie Ellis (daughter of Pamela G. Mayes) Comments: 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!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------ Date: Sunday, September 14, 2008 Name: Doug Henry (Husband of Debbie in the memorials) Comments: James we are all with you. If you would like to talk just e-mail me: travelingtrashman@yahoo.com Best of luck to you. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Saturday, September 13, 2008 Name: James R. Chapman Comments: Lung Cancer Pt.(NSCLC) Will have surgery Oct.7th,2008.God bless all who fight cancer and their caregivers. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Sunday, September 07, 2008 Name: Mary Carol Henry & Family Comments: 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 ------------------------------------------------ Date: Saturday, September 06, 2008 Name: Doug Henry (Husband of Debbie in The Memorials) Comments: 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. travelingtrashman@yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------ Date: Monday, July 07, 2008 Name: Amber.....age 34 Comments: 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. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Sunday, June 01, 2008 Name: Cathy Smith Comments: 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. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Sunday, June 01, 2008 Name: Jong Smith Comments: Hello, I was diagnosed with cancer and its the hardest part of my life. I can't believe I suffered that kind of pain, but after almost 1 year of being in chemotherapy I was alive and thank God. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Sunday, April 27, 2008 Name: Shantel Knichel Comments: My thoughts are with you. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Thursday, March 20, 2008 Name: Phil Bosanko Comments: Thus far, 6 month survivor of colon/liver cancer. Given 9-12 months, here I write 21 months later. Cancer hates smiles and positive attitudes, so remember that folks! It works, they tell me I had a 3% chance of survival! Lite beer daily, smiles and one hell of a postive attitude through it all. Cancer Sucks!! ------------------------------------------------ Date: Saturday, March 15, 2008 Name: Stacey Comments: One of my 5 year old twin boys, J.P., was diagnosed with lymphoma in October. Let's just say, CANCER SUCKS!! ------------------------------------------------ Date: Thursday, March 13, 2008 Name: Jennifer Williams Comments: My mom has brain and lung cancer and its been the hardest thing next to losing my son.

During my treatment, I made bracelets that read, "cancer sucks". Everyone in my school now wears one, and so do many patients and doctors at the clinic! ------------------------------------------------ Date: Monday, September 24, 2007 Name: Michelle Comments: I loved my grama very much. When she died of cancer I cried for days. She meant the world to me. I sometimes wish that she were here again. I hope that someday, we will meet again. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Sunday, August 26, 2007 Name: A MOM Comments: 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." ------------------------------------------------ Date: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 Name: Deb Comments: Thanks. I'm going to miss you! xo ------------------------------------------------ Date: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 Name: Erin Cook Comments: 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! ------------------------------------------------ Date: Thursday, October 19, 2006 Name: Jeff Comments: I'm almost 2yrs.

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 everyone... although it hurts, everything happens for a reason and don't forget to make EVERYONE'S lives positive and fulfilling!

I don't know what it's like to be a cancer victim, but I know what it's like to be the daughter of one...and that sucks, too........ ------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, December 03, 2005 Name: Anonymous Comments: 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!

We are positive that this will be his cure. I love him more than anything and would do anything to get him to feel better. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Thurs.

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! Admiringly and forever gateful, Shannon Christine ------------------------------------------------- Date: Thurs., October 28, 2004 Name: Miriam Mas Comments: Wonderful cause, Teri! Thank you for all the great work you do on behalf of those who are able to enjoy a better day because of what you do and offer. The kindness of your cause is transmitted directly to people's hearts, no matter where they might be. My dad passed away after long suffering from colon cancer just a few months ago. The pain of the physical separation never leaves, but the warmth of the love we share is eternal. All the best! Miriam Mas Founder of CWAC www.canineswithacause.org ------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon. June 14, 2004 Name: Patrick Dooley Comments: Your site, and having been touched by this horrible disease too often, has reminded me that I am not alone. God bless you and your family! When my feet hit the floor every morning I remind myself how fortunate I am to have another day. It is my responsibility to make the most of it. Thank you, Patrick Dooley ------------------------------------------------- Date: Tues. June 1, 2004 Name: Lisa Hehr Comments: 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! Love you mom! ------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun. Dec. 7, 2003 Name: Bruce Weagle Comments: This is a beautiful web site. Mom would be proud!

Dec. 5, 2003 Name: Jewels Roberts Comments: I really love Grandma and miss her so much! I think Grandma's website is wonderful! I really miss Grandma being around. I felt closest to her. Just thinking of her makes me feel upset because I'm not with her. I wish I could see her all the time like when she was alive. ------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri. Dec. 5, 2003 Name: Frank Weagle Comments: 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 ------------------------------------------------ Date: Thurs. Dec. 4, 2003 Name: Claire Weagle Comments: Congratulations on a very thoughtful and comprehensive website. Promoting Cancer awareness is a worthy effort, appreciated by the people who's lives have been altered by this disease. Good work! ------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed.
