Breast Cancer Survivor April Capil urges viewers to personalize their fight with cancer after meetin a woman battling pancreatic cancer who said, "Randy Pausch (creator of 'The Last Lecture') had pancreatic cancer, and he died, which means I'm going to die." We're all going to die someday - just because someone lost their battle with cancer doesn't mean you will too. Randy Pausch was a brave man and devoted husband and father, but his fight was HIS fight, and no one else's. We all have different challenges and gifts and purposes here on this Earth. If you are still here, you are here for a reason. Trust that.

  • If you have cancer, it's hard not to feel like you are somehow being punished, like your future is being taken away. We don't know why bad things happen to good people, but we only have one life, and we can live it in fear and anger, or with hope and faith. People may say your faith is delusional or your hope is unrealistic. Do not listen to them! Set an example by living the best life you can live, no matter how short or long it may end up being, so you can be proud of it when you do leave!

  • Thank you so much for sharing. I was diagnosed with breast cancer this year at the age of 41. I have good days where I am happy and strong and days when I am soo sad I don't know what to do. There is one thing I do believe though, the power of the mind. Believing that you will beat it is the road to recovery. Be strong in your thoughts and we will win!

  • One book that has given me strength and hope is "Love, Medicine, and Miracles," by Dr. Bernie Siegel. I highly recommend it if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with cancer. xo, April

  • Just want to throw one name out: TERRY FOX!

  • 13 years ago my mother suffered from panreatic cancer. The doctor told her she had a hernia and let her walk around for months before I finally decided it was enough and I took her to the hospital. It was too late though, they basically sent her home to die. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult to cure, so I've been told. Two months after she got sent home she passed away.

  • you'r so beautifull <3

  • Thank you April. My mom was just diagnosed with this and i just don't know what i would do without her. But we're gonna fight and beat this thing!!

  • Essiac tea at natural heritage enterprise helped my mother who is still alive with us. She was stage 4 and they said she had only 5 weeks. This was over two years ago. She underwent chemo which caused her alot of pain and she was on hospice. Today she is no longer with hospice and back living a normal life. Also good diet, exercise, and a positive atitude helps as well. But foremost put God ahead of it all. ;D

  • Thanks you for you help,i have breast cancer.

    I would like to know how are you.

    God Bless you.

  • your so amazing APRIL !

  • @astormycello All the best to you, you will beat it. XD

    :) xx

  • ive been having the same fear and dissapointment since i knew about Randy Pausch's death.. "pancreatic cancer is not the type of cancer you want to get", & i thought there are not many survivors to know about and be little optimistic..

    ill check the site out..

    thanks a lot April :)

  • With tears in my eyes - THANK YOU!
