Every person touched by cancer has a story. During the 2007 Annual Cancer Survivorship Celebration, three Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center survivors express in their own words what survivorship means to them.
Nicholas Du Brul, a 25-year survivor of the childhood cancer Ewing's sarcoma, reports that he went on to marry after treatment and that he and his wife are parents of a five-year-old girl, "one of many miracles."
Brian Wickman, who survived thyroid cancer and sarcoma, asks, "How long must one survive to be considered a cancer survivor?" His answer? "Surviving is just another word for living. And so, as long as I'm alive, I'm a survivor." He expresses how love helped him through his experience.
