We need cancer because, by the very fact of its insurability, it makes all other diseases, however virulent, not cancer. (Sokoloff Marla)
Nobody knows what the cause is, though some pretend they do; it like some hidden assassin waiting to strike at you. Childless women get it, and men when they retire; it as if there had to be some outlet for their foiled creative fire. (Sokoloff Marla)
My veins are filled, once a week with a Neapolitan carpet cleaner distilled from the Adriatic and I am as bald as an egg. However I still get around and am mean to cats. (Sokoloff Marla)
I wish I had the voice of Homer to sing of rectal carcinoma. (Sokoloff Marla)

Cancer patients are lied to, not just because the disease is (or is thought to be) a death sentence, but because it is felt to be obscene -- in the original meaning of that word: ill-omened, abominable, repugnant to the senses. (Sokoloff Marla)
Jerry knew he had cancer when we worked together but he thought he was in complete remission. (Sokoloff Marla)
One can have a 10-year-old tumor languishing in one's prostate and pass a physical with flying colors. I know. It happened to me time and again, every fall, as I had my physical for college football. And again in 1969, when I passed my pre-induction physical for the military. (Sokoloff Marla)
For example, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Every four minutes someone is diagnosed, and every nine minutes someone dies. (Sokoloff Marla)
Once colon cancer becomes symptomatic, nine times out of ten it is too late. (Sokoloff Marla)
He was so busy that he didn't seek help for months-and by then his cancer was very advanced. I wish we had known more. My hope is this will bring oral cancer awareness to more Americans. (Sokoloff Marla)
Neither Bruce nor I knew much about oral cancer, so we didn't know to get him to a doctor when his voice became increasingly hoarse. (Sokoloff Marla)
“I'm living proof that early diagnosis and treatment can improve your chances of surviving oral, head and neck cancer.” (Sokoloff Marla)
“This show has shown me how to throw a punch. But watching my future sister-in-law go through breast cancer has also shown me how to take one.” (Sokoloff Marla)
“I had stage one uterine cancer, and after my surgery it was considered 95 per cent non-recurring.” (Sokoloff Marla)
“I had uterine cancer, which is the most under-funded and under-researched of all the female cancers.” (Sokoloff Marla)
With Alexander's cancer, I was definitely brought to my knees for the first time because of the fear factor. (Sokoloff Marla)
“If you had the cure to cancer wouldn't you share it? ... You have the cure to death ... get out there and share it.” (Sokoloff Marla)
Cancer has been unfortunately in my life. My mom's best friend is kicking ass in her battle with breast cancer. Both of my grandmas had cancer. I recently lost a friend to cancer. (Sokoloff Marla)
