See! I've just defeated u! How it feels? I'm completely cancer free now! I can't believe it! I'm so happy! But would never and ever and never will forgive u, u ruined the most beautiful times of my life...

Dear Cancer, I always thought that with this you'd do all the taking, leaving me with nothing but the remnants of my life. I was wrong, the amount of good I've gotten, the wisdom, the knowledge, the appreciation for life, the strength, and the love... You took pieces of me, you left some scars, but in the end I won.

"George required an advocate and a best friend by his side, but the kids needed an emotional foundation in the face of such uncertainty. I had to nurse the wounds the emotional shrapnel left in their tiny little hearts from the cancer bomb that detonated in our lives. I was so scared and so sad, but felt I could never let my children see that. I had to keep it all together for them and for my husband." ‪‬ Read more here.

""I know that you don't want to let your family down. I don't either. My family has always seen me as the stronghold when things get tough; the one who's always instilled encouragement and positivity. I have no idea how to tell my family that I'm really tired, and that I really need help."

I tried my best to be healthy but still you came into my life. I hate you so bad, you kept me up all night! However though you made me appreciate life more.

I hate you beyond words you took my whole world away. My husband was a good man and you attacked him with no regrets. I can't understand why you are so evil and want to hurt his children he won't be here to see Daisy start kindergarten or Molly's first Father's Day. How about her first birthday. I hope you rot in Hell. Thanks for ruining my happy ever after with on of the greatest guys in the world. Sincerely, heartbroken!!!

"I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in 2011, when I was 23. I was given a 10 to 15 percent chance of survival and doctors prepared my family for the chance that I might die within 24 hours. My lungs collapsed, my kidney collapsed, I lost sight in my right eye, I had an infection in my spine and could barely walk. I was told I was type 1 diabetic as well. I had my bone marrow transplant in 2013 - my brother was half match.Since then I have been in remission. Life is crazy sometimes. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime. Don’t take life for granted. Be funny, be bold and do good to others." -Manish‬ ‪‬ Read more here.
