To all those who know someone who's survived cancer

http://www.simpleplan.com/saveyou/
My 15 year old son Tim who, as you know is a cancer survivor of almost 7 years, found this video of a song called Save You by a band called Simple Plan. All people featured in it are cancer survivors. One of the band members' brothers is a survivor, featured at the end. Watch it, read the text, listen to the words, and tell me you aren't moved by it. I was. I cried. Well done to all those who have survived. You are fighters. And sincere sympathy for those who know someone who didn't survive. We all know someone. It's something that can affect any one of us. But this is a message of hope, meant to be positive. Thanks for looking. 07/02/09.

  5. I think we all know someone who has suffered from the dreaded disease and know how emotionally it affects everyone involved. This is so touching Clare.

  7. Hello Clare, hadn't realized that your son was in the Royal Marsden. They do such excellent work. I think it's a great idea that you have included a link to their site on your blog. I'll have to think how I can help out.
