His girlfriend, fellow Survivor alumni Jenna Morasca, has been chronicling her own thoughts about cancer as well. Most recently, she posted a break-up letter to cancer, saying, “In fact I am hoping by taking you out of my life and filling that spot with positive things that it may actually kill you.

That’s all I need to say to you. Its over, goodbye, and see you NEVER AGAIN! Do not try and come back into my life because I will not change my mind. Its over.”
