Valerie Harper: Quotes of the month
|
We're saddened by Valerie Harper's report that her lung cancer has returned as metastatic brain cancer--leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
But we love her fighting spirit. And her great quotes:
"Incurable is a tough word--so is terminal."
"I'm not dying until I do."
" If you die, you're not a failure. You're just somebody who had cancer, and that's the outcome."
"I want people to be less afraid."
"Keep yourself open to miracles."
