Julia K says
October 15, 2012 at 8:25 PMCurrently, my aunt has been diagnosed with cancer and it was such heartbreaking news for all of us to find out. Shortly after, her husband left her and her daughters have now been married off and she gets very lonely. She went through chemo and in our culture, our long hair is a sign of beauty and so she was very sad about so I decided to shave my head as well for support to know that I will always be there for her and that she is not fighting this fight alone. Hopefully, the cure for cancer will one day be found!

Chelsea says
October 15, 2012 at 8:16 PMMy Step Mom and Grandpa both died from Cancer. I was only about 15 when my gpa passed and it was really hard for me, especially since I was working in a retirement home at the time (I had to quit because I couldn’t watch the people there without thinking of him everyday). I was 22 and just had my first daughter when my step mom passed. It was really had to watch her go through the nastiness of cancer and I thank God that her struggle is over and that she’s with the Father now 🙂

Christina says
October 15, 2012 at 7:54 PMUnfortunately I have supported too many family members. My aunt passed from breast cancer, I have an aunt in remission (breast cancer) and an uncle in treatment right now (also breast cancer that spread to his lung). I have an aunt that was just diagnosed with breast cancer 2 weeks ago and an aunt in the final stages of lung cancer right now.

Amanda R says
October 15, 2012 at 7:49 PMMy moms boyfriend has cancer and they had to move to a different state to be closer to his drs. He is doing ok now, but I wish I could support them more-i am just so far away. It is frustrating.
Lisa Vazquezanzua says
October 15, 2012 at 7:48 PMYes I have. My dad has pancreatic cancer and he found out a few days ago that it spread to his liver. The doctor told us that he has about 6 months to live. I wish I could be with him right now but he lives in Oregon and I live in California. And when he found out he has 6months left he told me to move up there so me and my kids can spend whatever time he has left with him. And I just don’t have the money to move up there or I would be there right now. My mom passed away a few years ago from a heartattack. So we didn’t have time to say goodbye but with my dad its different. We can be there to support him, spend time with him, let him know how much we all love him. And when he found out he has 6months left he told me to move up there so me and my kids can spend whatever time he has left with him.

Mary W says
October 15, 2012 at 6:48 PMMy dad died of lung cancer and had a brain tumor and my sister died at the age of 51 from non hodgkins lymphoma. Hospice had come to the house and it was so sad. She didn’t get to see her kids marry or meet her grandchildren. Her husband died 3 years later at 55 probably from a broken heart. They were real close.
Diana Ferreira says
October 15, 2012 at 6:30 PMMy grandmother had cancer in her intestines. Luckily it was detected on time. She had surgery, where they removed part of her intestine. After more than 10 years, we can say she won the fight against cancer.
My grandfather had cancer in the prostate. He went to radiotherapy; were rough times. The side effects of radiotherapy were devastating. Now he still going to medical surveillance to assure that cancer cell will not appear again. But so far, at a the age of 84, he’s managing the disease well.
Katelyn Ray says
October 15, 2012 at 6:24 PMWhen I was 16 the dr’s thought I had cancer! luckily that was not the case! I deeply sympathize with all that have to go through with the pain of cancer!
Maegan Morin says
October 15, 2012 at 6:19 PMBoth my husband’s mother and aunt had to battle breast cancer just this past year and it was a brutal year. It is so hard to be there for someone when you just dont know what to say. You dont know what to say because you know nothing could make them feel better in their time of need. Its hard.
Kristie G says
October 15, 2012 at 6:11 PMCancer is prominant in my family. The list of people That i have stood by over the years is rather longer than i would have ever liked.
My Grandmother, My Grandfather, My Uncle, My Aunt, My Godmother. Those are just off the top of my head. I wish the list was shorter,and that more of them had beaten it and survived.
Daila Ippolito says
