Everyday, hundreds of people are diagnosed w/ Cancer, told that it has "spread" to other organs. I can only imagine the pain these people must feel inside their hearts knowing they will die in a year or two, months or even days. All the thoughts that must run through their minds, "I will never see my children get married," "I will never know my grandchildren," "I can't be here to protect my own children," "what will my spouse do without me" ... the questions are endless and working in the medical field, I can only feel the terror of these unfortunate people. They are strong people that many spend the remainder of their lives in pain just trying to stay alive one more day. It is saddening, words cannot describe. Cancer victims inspire me because I know that I am lucky to be here and knowing tomorrow, or next week, or maybe next year I could be in their shoes, I know we have to live life to its fullest and live it w/o regrets, kiss and hug my child and enjoy every second I have with him. Cancer victims inspire me to be a better person and be greatful for just being alive and being able to be here another day w/ my child. I lost my mother to cancer, it was a hard time in my life to see her suffer and fight so hard just to be here for us one more day. She was truly my inspiration because she was so strong, and now I realize there are hundreds of poeple that go through this every day. SO many of us take each day for granted, but does anyone stop and think what it would feel your life will be ending in the near future and there is nothing you can do to stop it? I know we all have to go sometime but knowing when that is, is scarier than not knowing.

I can relate to this article because i lost my fiancere' to cancer on April 30,2009. this was the worsed ay of my life. he was the first person that I loved that I lost. his death has effected me in numerous of ways. At first it was hard for me to accept the fact that he is gone and is no longer living. i will look for him, talk to him and cry out to him. Being saved and knowing god for myself; i became angry, not at God, not at him but myself. i ignored all the signs and warnings; even though i was making provisions to move on. To make a long story short, i've learned through his death, how to live. He taught me so many great things and the important lesson is to never let anyone take you outside of yourself and to always be true to yourself first. I love you Andy. Erika
