Loretta Swan: One of the amazing things when you come to Cancer Treatment Centers is that there’s nothing but hope here. No one looks down on you and says, “Oh you poor thing, you’ve got six months”, you know it’s, “We are going to fight this thing”. Everything is uplifting; everything is encouraging and keeping you strong and keeping you to where you think you can fight this, you can beat this.
Peggy Kessler: You can’t do anything without hope. Hope is where your heart is. Hope is everything.
Toby Frey: The people that I met there, that were there because they had been told to go get their affairs in order. These guys – they are fighters. They were given hope. They were given a chance to fight the cancer.
Laura Brokaw: Hope – you can’t fight cancer if you don’t have hope.
John Hark: This little bit of hope anywhere is like a bright ray of sunshine and man, I am telling you, we were getting the rays of sunshine every time we turned around.
Thomas McArthur: That makes a lot of difference – the caring and hope really brings it home. Someone tells you that you got six months to live, what have you got to live for? Well, you don’t have the hope. I am going to go where I have hope.
Caldwell Crawford: What I have come to understand is that hope is really the driving force in cancer treatment.
Wife of Chuck Glenn: We want to encourage people that cancer is not a death sentence. As long as you are living and breathing there’s always hope, and life is not over till God says it’s over.
Jerry Bradshaw: How much hope does that put in a person who has just been diagnosed, to be talking with someone that says they survived five years. Hey, there’s a spark in you know.
Neroli Duffy: Hope became very important. It’s like the rays of sun that come in through the window and when you have hope you can do just about anything but if you don’t have it you don’t even have to fight within you.
(Montage): “There is a place”
