Ike Skelton

Heart, Help, Suffering

It's my firm intention to whop cancer into submission and I truly believe I've given myself the best start possible by radically overhauling my diet and by staying true to my motto, which is: Don't worry, be happy, feel good. The first thing I did when I was diagnosed was to turn vegan.
Larry Hagman

Good, Best, Diet

Why, Else, Makes

Work, Trust, Family

Eric Davis

Someone, Everyone, Anyone

Nothing I did contributed to me having cancer, so I can't sit back and say, 'Oh why me.' Why not me? Why does tragedy always have to hit someone else?
Eric Davis

Someone, Nothing, Why

Eric Davis

Baseball, Happen, Different

I know people are pretty well embarrassed just at the mention of colon cancer. Sticking a tube in you to find out what's wrong is not a nice thing. But I can tell them, a 30- or 40-minute test is worth it. We have to make them feel more comfortable about getting screened.
Eric Davis

Nice, Find, Pretty

I'd never heard of colon cancer. Baseball wasn't even important to me. I have a wife and two girls. That's what was important. The doctors told me and all I could say was, 'When are we going to get this thing out?'
Eric Davis

Wife, Important, Baseball

April Winchell

Experience, Today, Fun

Anjelica Huston

Deep, Ocean, Actually

As J.R. I could get away with anything - bribery, blackmail and adultery. But I got caught by cancer. I do want everyone to know that it is a very common and treatable form of cancer. I will be receiving treatment while working on the new 'Dallas' series.
Larry Hagman

Working, Away, Everyone
