Celebrities Who Survived Cancer

“Cancer does not respect fame and fortune”....

Everybody knows that as long as you're breathing and still doing some activities in your life, you have the disposition of getting a cancer. Cancer is an ailment that can affect and kill anyone on this planet. Anybody can be an unwilling recipient; it attacks wealthy or financially poor people, a politician, a president, a professor, a researcher together with the celebrities.

Nowadays, in our generation, cancer cases are constantly rising. Nevertheless, survival cases happen to be also growing. And we would like to know precisely how these cancer victims made it a killer disease, did they try undergoing some alternative cancer treatments? Or did they simply focus on doing standard cancer treatments or maybe they have done both. Here is the list of celebrities who have been diagnosed with cancer and made it.

1. Kate Jackson - who can forget Sabrina Duncan of Charlie's Angels 1970s television series? She is one of the most renowned characters of early Charlie's Angels' series. She was a two-time breast cancer survivor; the very first time she was clinically determined to have cancer was in 1987 right after the end of Scarecrow and Mrs. King TV series. She had successfully come back on TV and shoot for Baby Boom; however, the series lasted for only one season since the audience didn't like it. In 1989, her breast cancer came back while she was starring in a series called Lover boy. She successfully survived her two cancer incidents and that's one good reason she was included and became a cover of People magazine in May 1992. In her feature, she shared exactly how life changing and inspiring her experiences were.

2. Rod Stewart - Hot Legs, Sailing and I Don't Want to talk about it, are three of the greatest hits that made Rod Stewart one of the most famous singing sensation. However, as we all know cancer doesn't respect anybody. It doesn't care exactly how popular you are or exactly how great you're; Rod discovered that he had a malignant thyroid gland in his throat while doing a scheduled checkup in 2000. He, for the meantime, stopped singing to undergo a surgery for his throat. The cancer was removed surgically and Rod ultimately came back to his first love which is singing following his operation. He informed everyone that he felt a lot better after that operation.

3. Lance Armstrong - Tour de France is what made Lance Armstrong famous and dominate over the world of cycling. He's amongst the most famous cyclists, winning Tour de France seven times! It was after his seventh consecutive win that he was clinically determined to have testicular cancer. Testicular cancer is a cancer developed in the testicles which is a part of male reproductive system. He was identified to have 3rd stage cancer in 1996, and the cancer cells have spread all over his lungs and brain. Even though everybody knows that it is unattainable for him to survive, he went through two surgeries focused to eliminate his testicular cancer and another to take out the one in his brain. He eventually survived and educated himself about the disease and this at some point encouraged him to establish a foundation in 2008 which was named “Lance Armstrong Foundation and Demand Media”.

These people are certainly the same as us; they have the same parts of the body just like us. The point is, no person is absolved from having cancer. No prominent person can escape the moment it strikes. Get inspiration from these people, they never lost hope, they decided to live that's why God gave them another chance at living. If you're diagnosed with cancer now, use that as an inspiration to other people.

You might want to try doing alternative cancer treatments. Anything you might imagine that's helpful and will help you, do it. And use your life story as an inspiration to other people. You might not be as popular as these celebrities, but making it through this disease can make you even famous than before, because you've inspired and used the lessons in your life to help others.
