Dear Cancer, You truly have proven to be a bitch! You invaded my life without an invitation! I did the treatments needed to end your life within me..and now the Surgeons will cut you out of me and end your lifeline to me. In 2 days I will show you who is boss! So just FYI..pack your bags as I have had enough of your BS! Thanks, Tracy

Dear Cancer, I'm over the hotflashes and the fatigue. Can you please fuck off?

Dear Cancer, It's been 2 months since you died and left my body. Your ghost still lingers in my fatigue, muscles aches, etc but these too shall pass. Fuck you.

You took my Mom, and you tried to take me. I kicked your butt! You are NOT going to take my daughter!!!!!

jhmommy

You tried to hurt me, push me in a corner, and take away my personality. But guess what? I won! I beat you and just like the mean girl that stole your boyfriend in high school, I'm flaunting it! My 25 week baby bump, after you took my hair, and my boobs, shows everyone that you are NOT in control..my God is!! So there. :P

Dear C - I have been able to keep you away for a year and five months now. I've made some healthy changes, and I like to think they're working for me -- at least mentally they help. You are not an obsession anymore, but I still think about you everyday; you had such an impact on my life that I am glad I do because it keeps me aware. I hope I never have to deal with you again.

Hey cancer! You challenged me when I was only 13 months old. But guess what? I beat you. So who's laughing now??? You're no match for me. I will continue to take you down as long as you exist. Goodbye cancer, hello life.

Dear cancer, I wish i had not been introduced to you at such a young age. I was very scared when we first met but I knew as a christian god would get me through this. Even though you have taken many things from me God will restore all the happiness and joy you took from me during my fight. I believe God healed me from your sorry self so I could be an advocate for others who have to deal with you you sorry excuse for a disease!! You will NOT get the best of me despite my family history. I hope to never see you again anywhere in myself. I have beaten you down for nearly two years and i will continue to fight forever! You have shown me though how strong I can be in myself so I do thank you for that at least.

Attention, Cancer : one year ago (6/5/12) I received the diagnosis of uterine cancer. But I'm still here. I have had the last laugh and you are slinking. Keep going. Don't let the door hit you in the ass. I am one less victim you do not have.

Dear cancer, you will not beat us. Joey is stronger than you, and he will survive and thrive. You have not made him weak; you've made him strong, and given him purpose to fight, and inspired him to go after his dreams. You might as well give up and GO AWAY because we're never going to stop fighting!

evangela0308

Dear cancer, your will to survive is not as strong as mine...and I am done with you. Good riddance...forever!

Chris_JM_Jardine

Dear cancer, you've zapped every last ounce of energy out of me, and now because my resistance is so low I've caught shingles. I've just had enough, I can't take any more. Why! Give me a break!

maryluczak

You took my friend, Anne, away from me last spring. I want her back.

Rebecca

You consumed my life for a long time but I'm proud to say I beat you twice and now I use my experience to help those in need as an oncology nurse and with the Hair For You Foundation. Check it out! https://www.facebook.com/HairForYouFoundation

You suck! Thanks to you, I have done things I NEVER wanted for my body - fake boobs and tattoos! Glad you're gone, now stay away!

Cancer didn't change me, it helped me find out who i am & what i want to do with my life.

naenae25

Over two years now free of hairy cell leukemia. Got my picture in the local paper (Page, Arizona)walking the survivor's lap at our Relay for Life. Second year - feel a lot better than post-chemo last year. Our purple survivor shirts say "I Am Hope" Pretty cool. I'm in the top right of the picture just in front of the folks in the very corner. Wearing my Isle of Skye tartan kilt and the purple survivor shirt. Kilted to Kick Cancer! http://s237.photobucket.com/user/riverkilt/media/ USA%20Kilts%20C%20Isle%20of%20Skye/ RelayforLife2013toprightBIG_zpsf62acec3.jpg.html http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff147/riverkilt/ USA%20Kilts%20C%20Isle%20of%20Skye/ RelayforLife2013toprightBIG_zpsf62acec3.jpg Such a joy to hate cancer and be able to survive it and share the hope. Really wanna make up some bumper stickers that say FUCK Cancer! (hope that doesn't break the rules here - its how I feel)

msmonkii

YAY!!!! Biopsy came back fine, stay gone you disgusting parasite known as cancer!!!!

AngelaM

Leave us alone!

msmonkii

And of course, now I need a biopsy. Cancer, get out of my life.

msmonkii

Seriously, you can bite me. I had to have a mammogram, now I need another. It is most likely a routine need to double check, but because I've had cancer once, of course I'm FREAKING OUT. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!

TiaMCochran08

Dear Cancer, to put it nicely YOU SUCK! I miss my life, I miss my friends, I miss being normal, but most of all I miss being/feeling healthy. Some days its really hard living with you. Some days I wish I could just sleep and wakeup when all this is over and some days I really don't like my life and how it is right now. Most importantly I want you to know that even though you may be taking my some days right now its all about to end. I want you to know I'm going to come back STRONGER, happier, have a better love for life and be an all around better person. I just want you to know that just because you might be getting the best of me now doesn't mean you will have the best of me for any significant amount of time. I WILL beat you.

Carolann

Hey, Cancer. I am tired of you going after all the people I love. You took my Grandma when she was only 67. It took you three tries to take my Mama, but you were only successful when she was 87 years old and not able to fight any more. You have come after dear friends and I am tired of the funerals. You have come after me twice, but you have not won. I hate how you take my joy away but I will get that back too. I have many scars and lingering effects. You know you are on your way out and you are trying to create as much destruction you can before your defeat. But defeated you will be!

kittycat

Cancer, why did you come and ruin my plans? I loved my job and I enjoyed going to work every day. I did good financially and was set to take on a second job to save more for retirement. Well cancer you had to show your ugly head and destroy my whole life! I am tired of being tired all the time and no one really understands what you are going through. They think you look fine so you should be fine. They don't understand how you hurt and how tired you get and how weak that I am now. I HATE it. I was ALWAYS so active and I can't hardly stand this not being able to do things that I was used to doing. Cancer, PLEASE go away!!!
