People ask me if I live each day like it's my last, and I don't. I live each day like it's my first, and I can't wait for the next one.

Life is a terminal condition. Were all going to die. Cancer patients just have more information, but we all, in some ways, wait for permission to live.

Folks are like plants; we all lean toward the light.

I tell people, 'I have a Ph.D. from Google University.'

Above all, cancer is a spiritual practice that teaches me about faith and resilience.

Eventually cancer becomes just another annoying thing that you deal with, you know, like cellulite.
