Because you'll be hard pressed to find a soul that hasn't been touched by this terrible disease, and I'm sure some of you are fighting it right now.
If you’ve been witness to someone with the disease, or fought it yourself, you know just how terrifying and debilitating it can be. It pulls no punches and doesn’t care about race, religion or nationality. It can be beat, however. These people went toe to toe with cancer and kicked its ass.
Have a little inspiration.

My in-laws have both had cancer, and survived. My cousin is going through cancer at the moment. They are some of the bravest people I know.

Children wth cancer is truly the most heartbreaking thing. Watching my dad was bad enough, but a little one? Forget about it.

I definitely matched with one of these people on Tinder. I feel like I know some deep dark secret now. Amazing recoveries! Fuck cancer

My mom fought her heart out, but didn't make it. I'm truly happy for all those that did.
IndominusHex
My dad too. It's good to see the ones who make it.

My sister also lost her fight. I miss her every minute of every day. I am happy for these brave individuals who are now cancer-free.

Very sorry for your loss...

Thank you. I appreciate it.

CORDYCEPS greatly reduces chemotherapy side effects. Speaking from personal experience.

There appears to be something growing off of your right cheek. Might want to get that checked out
PhantomWang
According to my oncologist it is benign, but I will have it for the rest of my life

Let's just pray it doesn't turn cancerous. Congrats though on beating cancer!
