We need to remember International Cancer survivor’s day

The 03rd of June marked International Cancer Survivor’s Day.  This is an important day for CANSA as this is also a day that we honour and acknowledge all persons who have won the battle against cancer.  On this day, and indeed every day, we celebrate hope and life with survivors and their families.  This is a day of hope, support and nurturing.

This mission of CANSA is to empower survivors to fight back when they are experiencing the cancer journey.  The reality is that more and more people are surviving cancer mainly due to early diagnosis and increasingly better treatment.

Cancer sees no creed, race, socio-economic position or gender.  Anyone could be affected.  Each and every one of us has a duty to serve in a supportive role as we discover better treatments and advances in medicine in this field.

I encourage everyone to call on their local CANSA office and to make a contribution to this important fight.
