Together, 3 sisters from Utah fight cancer with faith, hope and humour: 'Attitude means everything'

By an uncanny twist of fate, three sisters from Utah found themselves afflicted with the same deadly disease—cancer—but they certainly aren't going down without a good fight.

Sharee, Annette and Lindsay Page have found an extraordinary way of waging a counter-attack on cancer. It's called the FHH approach—faith, hope and humour. And it's apparently proving to be a winning formula.

Sharee, 34, was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer last month. Two weeks earlier, Annette, 35, also learned that she had Stage 3 breast cancer. Two months before that, their sister-in-law, Lindsay, 38, also learned that her angiosarcoma (cancer of the inner lining of blood vessels) had returned in her liver and lungs, according to PEOPLE.

The three sisters live within a few miles of each other in Davis County, Utah.

Even in the worse condition they're in, the three sisters are looking at the bright side, the silver lining—no matter how contrived. The three, who now sport bald heads, agree that at least the disease that struck them now allows them to shower in just two minutes flat.

"There's no shampooing, no conditioning and no hair to clean up. We all agree that it's a real time-saver," says Sharee, who works for a time-management company and is single.

Annette, for her part, says men seem to be attracted to women with bald heads. "We call ourselves the bald sisters," says Annette, who works for a nutritional supplement company and is also single. "When a guy shouts out the window to 'keep rocking that bald head,' we love that. Especially if they're also bald."

Lindsay shares the fighting spirit of her two sisters-in-law. "We all decided early on that we weren't going to let this get us down," says Lindsay, a stay-at-home mom with four children, ages 4 to 13. "I don't know where I'll be a year from now, and that's a scary thought. But you have to have faith, hope and humour. You can sit around and be sad. What possible good can come from that?"

Sharee admits that when her doctors first told her about the disease that struck her, she was shocked and scared.

However, she found the spark to give her inner strength on the same day when she stopped at the grocery store on her way home from the hospital and saw a teenage girl with only one arm. "It just hit me that everybody has a trial or hardship of some kind. It's how you choose to face those hardships that matters," she says.

Lindsay has been battling cancer since January 2015. She was the first of the three sisters to have been struck with the disease.

When she learned that Sharee and Annette also had cancer, she admits that "it was hard to take."

But they all realised that nothing good will happen if they rage against the disease and wallow in self-pity. "We choose to be happy. It stinks that we're going through it, but at least we have each other for support. We're chemo buddies for each other," Lindsay tells PEOPLE.

"We get together and tell jokes and try funny wigs on," says Annette, "and we always go home feeling better. Attitude means everything when you're trying to get through cancer. You can worry about everything that could go wrong, but we've turned that around. Now we try to think about everything that could go right."
