Fran Drescher, cancer survivor
"When I say "Cancer Schmancer," it's not to pretend that cancer isn't serious or deadly; believe me, I know firsthand that it is.
"Cancer Schmancer" means
"Cancer is not the boss of me!"

Stand Up 2 Cancer Manifesto
We used to have such crazy dreams.
The kind of dreams that brought us together,
made us not mere mortals, but a movement.
We used to dream we'd get to the moon.
We used to dream we'd get to the moon.
And we were crazy enough, fanatical enough,
relentless enough, to get there.
We dreamed we'd split the atom.
We dreamed we'd split the atom.
Make smallpox and polio whispers from forgotten history books.
Make technology infinite, individual.
Connect the world.
All the unbelievable and the impossible,
All the unbelievable and the impossible,
all the can't do and the never will,
we overwhelmed them, we overpowered them, we conquered them.
They said no and we, well, We said yes.
We stood up. We stood up and changed the world.
Stand up when everybody else sits down
Stand up when everybody else sits down
Stand up when it's easier to turn away
Stand up for everyone who can't rise anymore
When the answer seems impossible, stand up
When the answer seems impossible, stand up
When the dream is right within our reach, stand up
When the powerful refuse your call, stand up
The moment is now and the time has come to stand up.
The moment is now and the time has come to stand up.
One out of every two men
One out of every three women
will face these diseases we call cancer.
Our sisters, our brothers,
Our sisters, our brothers,
our fathers, our mothers,our husbands,
our wives, our children.
Our very best friends and those we've yet to meet.
One person every minute,
One person every minute,
one person in a moment gets lost, gets stolen,
gets taken away.
We are a tapestry of lives touched and brought together
We are a tapestry of lives touched and brought together
by a terrorist we can actually find.
And in the time it's taken to read this,
three more Americans have died.
Unforgivable.
This is where the end of cancer begins.
When together we become a force unmistakable.
Unforgivable.
This is where the end of cancer begins.
When together we become a force unmistakable.
A movement undeniable.
A light that cannot dim.
When we take our wild impossible dreams
When we take our wild impossible dreams
And make them possibleMake them true
When together we rise as one
When together we rise as one
When we stand up
When we
Stand Up To Cancer.

I stand up for too many of my friends and family.
I stand up for my children's generation.
I stand up for a cure.
