Diagnosed 3 years ago today with breast cancer....I am thankful for all of the bits and pieces of information and encouragement that I have gotten on my cancer walk. It is not for the faint of heart. It is part of me now and has changed my life. I am most thankful for the 75 year old woman who set next to me every 3 weeks during chemo and taught me not so much about cancer but about life. She was someone that I would never have met otherwise. She was the wisest, bravest most graceful woman I have ever met. She died about a month ago and I am so sad but I will never forget her. All of her wisdom about life has made me a better, braver more graceful woman. Anyone who has suffered or seen someone suffer through cancer is an inspiration to me.

LOVE her (and not just for the pie)... she's always been a fighter and a survivor! I have the gene... which is terrifying at times but I'm a fighter too, and I don't worry about it, I just plan to be proactive!

Personally, I've been inspired by both. Scott Hamilton (ice skater) was a big hero of mine before he got cancer. When he fought the cancer and came back to skate, I just loved him more. And for a 'regular' person, just a few weeks ago we had a women's conference at our church, and a woman who is dying of brain cancer attended witthout worrying about her appearance. Friends and family brought a big easy chair for her to sit in and she was surrounded by her larger 'family', cared for and loved, just as it should be.

They all bring something different to the table, and all of them do their part in educating, inspiring, and providing some hope to others. Thank you for this post. :) I would have to say that both the celebrities and the every day men and women fighting cancer every day inspire me.

I clearly remember how emotional it was for me to see the survivors run in a Susan Komen 5k race.. a race that I ran with zero training 4 years ago. I cried when I saw them running. On a personal note, my inspiration was my dad whom I lost last year. Till his end, he believed that he would beat it or that the cancer would coexist with him peacefully. No need to enter for pedometer. I did have to say :from all sources.

For me, personally, I'd say my two would be my mom and my mother-in-law. My mom is a survivor, both of breast cancer and heart disease (prolapsed mitral valve). I've found her battle with the latter this year even more inspiring than her battle with breast cancer. They caught her breast cancer early and were able to successfully treat it. Her heart problems, though, caused her to go into congestive heart failure, and that was a much more harrowing experience for us all. Now, though, she's doing great; she walks 5-8 miles per day and she quit smoking. My mother-in-law is another strong woman whom I admire. She was diagnosed with leukemia several years ago, and yet she was primary caregiver for (until his death) her husband, who was suffering from advanced Parkinson's disease. I honestly don't know how she stood the dementia part, other than being freakin' Super Woman.
