“My Voice” by Bill Prentice
The world is an imperfect place, and I certainly contribute in my own ways to that imperfection. Yet life goes on, and for most people, they accept that they will get up in the morning, go to work, come home, do some chores, go to sleep, and do it all over again tomorrow. That is, […]

Today’s ‘voice’ has been planned for a very long time…actually it was planned before the “Voices of Survivors Foundation” was a foundation, before it was even an organization.

I’m surviving two cancers, thyroid and breast. They were diagnosed about nine months apart. The thyroid cancer was found after my physiotherapist, working on my shoulder, told me to have my thyroid checked because it felt swollen to her. For a long while, I thought it might be a benign thing, not needing intervention up […]
“My Voice” by Jasan Zimmerman
I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I know, I’m thirty-three years old, nine years into a “career,” but really, I have no idea what the future holds. Of course, to me, the future is only two or three months down the road, not thirty or forty years. That’s the […]
