Cancer happens to a person, not a number. Each person has her journey, his experience, her feelings, his attitude.

After surgery, Stephanie felt like she could see the light at the end of the tunnel. That light became dim when a doctor used words like damaged eggs, pre-menopause, and infertility when discussing follow-up treatments.
Thanks to a second opinion, part 2 of Stephanie's story includes wedding bells in Italy and a baby on the way:

Very cool use of innovative patient-centered design: "Cancer treatments can be particularly hard on children. But in the Infusionarium their minds are transported to mountain slopes where, depending on their tastes, they are surrounded by extreme skiers or Disney princesses."

When her father was diagnosed with cancer, Rebecca felt like she was the only 6th grade girl experiencing what she was going through. Now, Rebecca helps other kids touched by cancer feel less isolated by their circumstances as a counselor at Camp Kesem:

In 2002, when I was 11, my 38-year-old dad was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer. He was a former Army Ranger and my soccer coach of many years.

"Technology feeds our knowledge of what survivors need, and provides a method for them to link quickly and use the power of many voices to make sure their needs are met." Hear how the Fred Hutch and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Survivorship Program use technology to improve their care of cancer survivors.

When cancer treatments leave you weak and low on stamina, taking the first step toward regaining your strength can feel daunting. The #LIVESTRONG at The YMCA program helps cancer survivors become active and healthy again with baby steps, and the support of fellow survivors. Read Lynell’s story:

I’ve been putting off writing about cancer because I didn’t want to be reminded of what a difficult period of my life it was. From diagnosis through the early part of chemotherapy, I was a ball of misery.

After 14 years of service, today we bid an emotional farewell to our CEO, friend and inspirational colleague Doug Ulman. No amount of words will sum up the thanks and gratitude we all owe Doug. We are truly grateful for his leadership and know he will continue to lead and inspire in his new role at Pelotonia. This poem sums him up perfectly. Thank you Doug.

"It Couldn’t Be Done" - by Edgar Albert... Guest

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it;”
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure,
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it. See More

Marilyn was passionate about helping people touched by cancer long before her mother was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma. Her mother’s battle led her to do some soul searching and down the path towards being a trainer for #LIVESTRONG at The Y. Here's her story: http://lvstr.ng/1rY3xuB
