A Quote by Amy Hoggart

The thing with cancer is that it's usually the chemo rather than the disease itself that makes the patient feel so ill, particularly at the start.

Doctors say there's no such thing as chemo brain, but ask any chemo patient.

Sarah Addison Allen

Two to 4% of cancers respond to chemotherapy....The bottom line is for a few kinds of cancer chemo is a life extending procedure-Hodgkin's disease, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), Testicular cancer, and Choriocarcinoma.

Ralph W. Moss

I like to think of making cancer a chronic disease rather than focus just on curing cancer.

Laurie Glimcher

We say that one gets cancer, or a cold, or kidney disease. One would never think to say that one is cancer. But we say that one is depressed, or bipolar, or schizophrenic. A disease of the body is a condition. But a disease of the mind, we think, is a state of being. We no longer believe, as we did 250 years ago, that the mentally ill are animals, but we are not yet ready to grant that they are fully human either.

Paul Gruchow

To be diagnosed with cancer was a frightening thing, and my first reaction was sheer panic, but I was really fortunate that the cancer was caught at such an early stage that I didn't need chemo or radiotherapy. But I know that cancer is a chronic condition, and once you've had it, you're on the list, because it can come back.

Natural healing has the power to cure pancreatic cancer. But usually, before I see the patient, medical treatments - not the disease - have destroyed the patient's body.

Richard M. Schulze

Not having hair makes me feel like a cancer patient.

Amanda Bynes

When people go get chemo, they're not injecting themselves with will - I have lost various loved ones to cancer, and I certainly don't feel that I am any stronger or braver than them.

Michael C. Hall

Most of the human body disease such as Obesity, Cancer, Heart disease are linked with our food which we eat in our day to day life. If people are eating health food than how come there be more than 50% death from heart and cancer disease alone in a developed nation such as USA?

Subodh Gupta

Doctor Johnson said, that in sickness there were three things that were material; the physician, the disease, and the patient: and if any two of these joined, then they get the victory; for, Ne Hercules quidem contra duos [Not even Hercules himself is a match for two]. If the physician and the patient join, then down goes the disease; for then the patient recovers: if the physician and the disease join, that is a strong disease; and the physician mistaking the cure, then down goes the patient: if the patient and the disease join, then down goes the physician; for he is discredited.

Francis Bacon

It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.

William Osler

The chemotherapy was very peculiar, something that makes you feel much worse than the cancer itself, a very nasty thing. I used to go to treatment on my own, and nearly everybody else was with somebody. I wouldn't have liked that. Why would you want to make anybody sit in those places?

Maggie Smith

Having cancer is one thing; looking like you have cancer is another thing. It's a disease that already takes so much.

Amy Robach

The failure to think positively can weigh on a cancer patient like a second disease.

Barbara Ehrenreich

A physician who fails to enter the body of a patient with the lamp of knowledge and understanding can never treat diseases. He should first study all the factors, including environment, which influence a patient's disease, and then prescribe treatment. It is more important to prevent the occurrence of disease than to seek a cure.

Charaka

Since cancer, I feel like I have dreams rather than ambitions, visions rather than plans.
