Some are recently diagnosed and others are long-term survivors. She went on to say they expect 1.6 million new cases this year.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to tell the crowd that she had survived an invasive breast cancer and just recently been diagnosed with colon cancer. She added all of the complications she now suffers from after the chemotherapy and wonders how you can be called a survivor. Cancer is a word its not a sentence. Cancer can do a lot of things to us but it there is a host of things it can\u2019t do to us. \u201cIt cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope, it cannot corrode faith, it can\u2019t eat away at our peace, it can\u2019t destroy our confidence,\u201d she said. Her encouragement about feeling guilty and relief she said is only human and that we should allow our family and friends and caregivers the right to feel the feelings of discouragement and unhappiness.<\/p>\n<p>She went to say that its important to set goals for yourself as she did by being in the pulpit every Sunday and she also got involved in the theater. She added that Victor Franko, a holocaust survivor wrote \u201cforces beyond your control can take away everything except one thing, your freedom to choose.\u201d She went on to say \u201cI choose Hope.\u201d \u00a0That is the secret to being a survivor, hope.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G0VTrZPVGm0\" height=\"450\" width=\"525\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Noby Gomez spoke about caregivers and while he himself hasn\u2019t really been a direct caregiver he has been very supportive of the people he knows has been stricken with the disease. In his support he started a list beginning with his mom who passed away with leukemia. He added all those he has been close to and he noted he ran out of space on the poster board. He encouraged the crowd to celebrate the life of those who are still here and for those who have passed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/73k2-qKNJWA\" height=\"450\" width=\"525\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Louise Bauler, as an 8<sup>th<\/sup> grader, had a crush on a senior boy. She did what she could to get noticed but admits what senior boy would have anything to do with an 8<sup>th<\/sup> grader. She went on to say she eventually worked with this young man\u2019s mother while he was in the Marine Corp. As fate would have it she received a letter from this young man during her senior year. One day Nathan called and she hung up on him not knowing who he was. He called back and said he was in Almagordo to see her where Louise was living and working at the hospital, as she put it the rest is history all 42 years and two boys later.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan was diagnosed with prostate cancer, together they fought it and won. At age 66 Nathan was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of the lungs. She went on to talk about his little yah yahs. It was their little thing to help cope.\u00a0 Unfortunately Nathan didn\u2019t make it but Louise wanted to pass on there is hope in everyday. There is hope in just getting up in the morning, there is hope to dance to the oldies in the kitchen like we used to do. Hope to play golf on the computer again and again.<\/p>\n<p>After seven years Louise is just now realizing what has happened, that her 8<sup>th<\/sup> grade crush was no longer here. She added read all you can about the diagnosis of the disease, educate yourself with what ever you can get your hands on. Take care of yourself if you\u2019re a caregiver, accept help and counseling so you can deal with situation. She added that she didn\u2019t do that and that is why she felt she is just now realizing and feeling the loss of her 8<sup>th<\/sup> grade crush.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R7pRVRj27d8\" height=\"450\" width=\"525\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The festivities continued with dancing and the survivor lap.
