No one wants to hear the words "you have cancer." However, the truth is, more and more people hear those words everyday. I heard those words when I was only thirteen years old. I learned that cancer doesn't care how old you are, if you have a family, or if you're healthy. Cancer doesn't care about you or your feelings. I also learned that in some ways, cancer can be a good thing. It can bring you closer to the ones you love and change your perspective on life. "The Good Cancer" is my personal cancer journey.

Let's Pretend My Tears Are Raindrops
Cancer: A malignant and invasive growth or tumor caused by abnormal cell masses, tending to recur after excision and to metastasize to other sites That's the definition of cancer. 1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with it every year. Annually, 500,000 people in the United States... they die from it. And 13% of people that die every year die from cancer.

I'll Love You Till the End
So I have this thing. Some people would call it a catastrophe; some would call it heart breaking. It also has the name of disease, and heart killer. I call it just cancer. Simple enough as it is, right? Doesn't help that I already had it once before, it just came back to fight harder as ever. I thought it was over. Isn't it though? Don't you give up at that point? Senior year and I'm ready to end my life as a person all together. I'm tired of fighting and might as well give up because there are no chances of me living all together. So as a smart choice I move so when I die no one will know me or care about me. Wouldn't that be the logical choice? I don't want pity. Never liked, never will. So don't tell anyone I have cancer. Ever. Doesn't help that a boy started getting involved with me and snuck under my skin before I even realized what he was doing. What changed me were those few, simple words all together. "I'll love you till the end." That, that was about the time I started caring about life again. And it was all because of him.Complete

Surrounded by family and friends, each bearing their own wounds and stories, Trisha learns that courage is not just survival - it is love, endurance, and choosing hope even when everything feels uncertain. In the midst of pain, heartbreak, and healing, this story reveals what it truly means to be brave: not because you are unbroken, but because you keep going anyway.
