Every year, thousands of individuals are diagnosed with cancer. Even those who aren’t stricken with the heart of the illness are touched in some way by the deadly disease. If you know someone who is, then maybe these quotes will help you to help them if only for a little while. These inspirational cancer quotes might give you some strength a glimpse of what cancer patients face, and have to deal with.
American Writer Susan Sontaq once said, “Cancer patients are lied to, not just because the disease is (or is thought to be) a death sentence but because it is felt to be obscene—in the original meaning of that word: ill-omened, abominable, repugnant to the senses.”
Singer Olivia Newton John once said, “My cancer scare changed my life. I’m grateful for every new, healthy day I have. It has helped me prioritize my life.” If everyone would simply live each day as if it were their last, perhaps we would all prioritize our lives.
Another cancer quote comes from one of the most inspirational champions who continued to overcome the battles of cancer, Lance Armstrong. He said, “If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up or fight like hell.” Lance Armstrong obviously didn’t give up. He fought with vigor and unstoppable belief in his recovery.
Australian Actress Dannii Minoque once said, “She’s going to be fine. She’s really lucky her cancer has been treatable. She’s getting better by the day. I can’t wait to see her back on her feet. She’s inspirational. She’s a fighter.” The word lucky isn’t the word which is commonly used when describing cancer. However, when cancer is treatable, lucky is one of the first words to come to mind.
Margaret Mead said, “We are continually faced with great opportunities which are brilliantly disguised as unsolvable problems.” People with cancer have often turned their cancer into great opportunities. Many people use their cancer to reach out to others in need and still others find a way to finally let others reach out to them. Very often, cancer changes people for the better even when things couldn’t look much worse.
“Cancer comes into a life and worms its way in. It’s the unspoken presence every day of the person’s life—‘the cancer’s back’ or ‘in remission’ are common references in the life of the person with cancer. However, it continues to be the people who can fight it that make the whole disease seem beatable and worth fighting.” This quote is an anonymous quote meant to inspire those affected by cancer.
If you know someone fighting cancer, find a quote which will lift their spirits. It may just make their day.
