When you look up the word cancer, “evil,” “poison” and “plague” are listed as synonyms. When you encounter individuals who have faced cancer, the words “fearless,” “strong,” and “warrior” come to mind. How can such opposing forces be associated with each other?
Cancer does not discriminate. It affects each and every one of us in some capacity, and this year alone, 400,000 individuals will die from this horrible disease. Despite all of the research, treatment and awareness, 246,000 individuals will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, including 2,600 men, and it will continue to be the second leading cause of death for women.
