Knowing what to say is never easy.

by admin on July 15, 2010

When someone you know has been diagnosed with cancer thousands of thoughts rush through your head like a speeding bullet.  It’s not always easy to find the right words or know when is the right time.  Some prefer to say nothing and avoid confrontation while others are there for help and support at a moments notice.  Usually it’s something you have never had to think about, but it is something we should all be thinking about.

What do you say to someone you know that has been diagnosed with cancer? 

 Please share your thoughts or experiences with us…

Cancer Inspired Tattoo – Sam Dunham

by admin on July 11, 2010

When I was 4 I had T-cell ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia). I had a low survival rate and was treated with a experimental program, I am now 19 and living strong. I decided on this because when i finally finished all my treatments after it went into remission I thought of it as getting a second chance or a rebirth and the Phoenix is the symbol of rebirth and thats what the symbols mean also.
