One of the most prominent quotes that Scott said was,\u00a0“When you die, that doesn\u2019t mean you lose to cancer,\u00a0You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live. So live. Fight like hell, and when you get too tired to fight, lay down and rest and let someone else fight for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
