People With Cancer Quotes

My biggest fear in life is losing the people I love, and the thing with cancer is that it seems that you can’t really control it Picture Quote #1

One of the pitfalls about writing about illness is that it is very easy to imagine people with cancer as either these wise-beyond-their-years creatures or these sad-eyed tragic people. And the truth is, people living with cancer are very much like people who are not living with cancer. They’re every bit as funny and complex and diverse as anyone else Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of people just aren’t aware how young you can be and be diagnosed with breast cancer Picture Quote #1

People with cancer like to wear jogging suits Picture Quote #1

One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted her to tell her that they once had something just like that happen to them. Subtly her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. It was just too lonely. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. Many people with cancer talk about the relief of having someone just listen Picture Quote #1

Suggesting I hate people with religion because I hate religion is like suggesting I hate people with cancer because I hate cancer Picture Quote #1
