National Cancer Month

Every month of the year is dedicated to one or two specific cancers since there are more than one hundred types of cancer. We are fortunate enough to have organizations that help prevent, detect & prolong life along with treatments and support programs. 
To detect early cancer offers a higher possibility of survival. Half of all men and one-third of all women in the US will develop cancer during their lifetimes. The month of April is special, it's National Cancer Month & indeed the disease is a nation wide dilemma killing on average over 500,000 cancer patients.
With statistics so high it is inevitable that we ourselves, a family member or friend have not experienced a loss or at least a scare. Please click on the links below & I hope this blog may help in some way.
Know your body, the signs & get tested! Set an example for your family & friends!
