When I'm all done with cancer, I'm going to help the other people with cancer,

They want people to understand what cancer does to a child, and the family. This is a very personal film.

Groups like The Cancer Council and Camp Quality are important to help people understand more about cancer

We talk to people who have had breast cancer to help them go through the process. ... Women lose their hair and we cry with them ... and when they get it back, we laugh. We have a good time. It is a sharing time.

My aunt, she's dying of cancer. If I can't help her, I can help somebody else.

I think I was always Shannon before the cancer and after. But I think it makes me live life a lot different. I live each day as if it was my last because I was faced with a couple of times when I almost died. I don't take stuff hard, and I don't stress about the small stuff.
