What cannot be cured must be endured. (From his final televised interview in December 2002, regarding his recent diagnosis of Alzheimer`s disease)
Charlton Heston
On Sharon Osbourne`s colon cancer diagnosis: `I freaked out. She`s the love of my life, and she`s also, like, the controller. I couldn`t sleep with her for nine months because I was scared of waking up and she`d died in the night.`
Ozzy Osbourne
(explaining why she chose to go public with her breast cancer diagnosis, and forestall any press leaks) I am making this announcement myself, to save enquiring minds ninety-five cents.
Olivia Newton-John
When we got the diagnosis, we were told there`s no cure and there`s not even any therapies that can be done other than trying to support him with the ventilator and for his breathing. So that`s kind of difficult to hear.
Mark Ward
When I got my diagnosis, I treated it like the Olympics. I tried to stay positive and told my doctor I was going to be the best patient he`d ever had.
Peggy Fleming
What is the natural reaction when told you have a hopeless mental illness? That diagnosis does you in; that, and the humiliation of being there. I mean, the indignity you`re subjected to. My God.
Allen Johnson
We thought it was just maybe he, something with his back or something that could be cured, something that he could you know just nurse for a while and then he`d be OK . He could go back to work. So it`s pretty devastating to get such a diagnosis as ALS,
Kevin Williams
The longer it`s been since their diagnosis, the more reluctant the kids are to talk about it, ... They know they`re not the same person they were before, and it`s very upsetting for them.
Paul Fisher
Most breast cancer-related deaths can be prevented through simple and painless preventive measures. A late diagnosis can result in more serious, long-term consequences.
Amitabh Mattoo
I have been extremely pleased to support the Trust`s work in the Lupus Unit ever since. Personal experience also motivated me to become involved to help raise the awareness of the disease and hopefully thereby improve the speed of diagnosis.
Elaine Paige
And then they sign an affidavit swearing that she`s not in a vegetative stage. I`ll tell you. That`s a doctor you really want; they can look at a picture and make a diagnosis.
Michael Schiavo
All the preliminary smears and the antibody tests ... are negative. I recently spoke to his infectious-disease attending physician, and we both feel that [anthrax] is an unlikely diagnosis at this point.
Thomas Ryan
(T)he physician records indicate that there had not been a diagnosis of HIV or AIDS ... , or any presentation that this illness might be present, ... All intake screenings, physicals and infirmary visits revealed no indication of HIV or AIDS.
