In April 2010, we asked Well readers to share their stories of cancer survival. Over the following weeks and months, more than 1,150 people submitted their photos and stories, creating an inspiring collage of the life that is possible after cancer.
Now we?ve updated the feature to make it easier to learn more about the lives of those who have been touched by cancer. You can search for stories on a particular type of cancer. Just type a word like ?brain? or ?prostate? or ?breast? into the search box. Or if you?d like to learn more about people in your area, you can search by location. Type ?Austin? in the search box, and you?ll find nine stories; type ?Seattle? and you?ll find 30.
?I feel that I am playing the hand that I was dealt and playing it quite well, with the complete intention of winning,? writes Seana Smith of Burbank, Calif., who submitted a photo of her bald head painted in pink and purple.
?My Four Letter Word,? writes Paula K., of Chicago, displaying a stone painted with the word ?Hope.?
Jeff Peters, pictured in Paris, keeps it simple. ?Less talk, more action,? he writes.
Once you?ve explored the site, you?ll find it?s easy to join the Picture Your Life community. Just click on the link to submit your own story and photo.
