Cancer is word, not a Sentence (Death Sentence)
Cancer is deadly, fear is deadlier, but deadliest is a Closed
MINDSET
If you think cancer is deadly, wait till you hear from mother
in law
Give not your powers away from cancer, but give cancer a
run for their lives.
When ALL else seems to fail, look inside, sometimes the
simplest solutions are already in you.
Just when you are bout to give up, God comes in
mysterious ways
