A survivor thanks God for every day they wake up because they know it's a gift.
A survivor has no more bad hair days,They are just grateful they have hair.
A survivor appreciates the sunrise and the sunset much more than they used to.
A survivor stops to smell the roses.
A survivor knows your whole life can change in a minute.
A survivor knows there is sick-and then there is chemo sick.
A survivor learns not to sweat the small stuff.
A survivor knows there is tired-and there is radiation tired.
A survivor feels pain for a loved one who is told they have cancer,like no one else can.
A survivor knows that people are more important than possessions.
A survivor knows that any day they can be told their cancer has come back.
A survivor knows the true meaning of "Living like you are dying".
A survivor has found a strength & courage deep inside themselves they never knew they had.
A survivor has fought the battle of their life-and they have won.
