CONFRONTING CANCER
Images of Strength and Hope
"Living in the moment means that every aspect of your relationship has a chance to deepen." |

"I feel I have been given a way to live my life free from worries, disappointments, and regrets." |
| "My internal time frame has shifted from several years to one moment. And I really enjoy that moment. It's a way I wish I had lived my entire life." --Hank Adams (lymphoma) |

"After radiation I needed a new identity-something I could control. So I bought a wig (I named her 'Ginger'), but we never bonded. I prefer to wear hats and scarves, and not hide behind something that is not me." |
| "I have been surrounded by a wonderful support group. We have shared much love and laughter, as well as many tears. It is a tremendous gift that I am quite grateful for." --Janice McGrath (breast cancer, bone marrow transplant) |

"When my hair started falling out I decided to have a party and shave it all off at once. I was embarrassed at first, but it was good to share the experience. After all, it could happen to anyone." --Lynn Rademaker (breast cancer) |
| "Strength is not necessarily doing everything you can to get better; it's making hard decisions that will give you a sense of peace." --Kathy McMullin (breast cancer) |

"There have been times I felt I just couldn't do it any more. At one point I almost decided to stop treatment. And then I thought, At what cost?" --Kathy McMullin (breast cancer) |
