“You all know I have terminal cancer—and I have a lot of it. But what you may not know is that stress induces its spread and induces its activity. Stress may even bring it on. Yet stress is the fuel of the activist. This activist loves Oregon more than he loves life. I know I can't have both very long. The trade-offs are all right with me. But if the legacy we helped give Oregon and which made it twinkle from afar—if it goes, then I guess I wouldn't want to live in Oregon anyhow.” IfsKnowsWantGivingMayLongMadeI CanActivityStressTradeCancerSpreadMade ItLegacyFuelLove LifeActivistAfarTerminalOregonTrade OffsTerminal Cancer Author:Tom McCall
“I would urge the government to allocate more funds toward fighting cancer. My own situation, it made me think. It made me think about the potential of dying. I wouldn't say I was scared. I'm more scared of how it will happen than of it happening. I'm not scared that I'm going to die. I think of how I'm going to die ... I don't want to linger. That scares me a little. The idea of lingering.” ThinkingWantLittlesMadeIdeasGovernmentHappensDiesFightingMy OwnSituationDyingHappeningsCancerScaredUrgesFundScareLingeringFighting Cancer Author:Arnold Palmer
