Today is World Cancer Day, a day set set aside in an effort to make known the global issues of cancer and work together to reduce the impact of the disease worldwide. As a breast cancer survivor living in the United States, I have had the benefits of there being a local, state, and federal focus on the epidemic of cancer. I received excellent treatment and I am so blessed to be cancer free. But it doesn’t end with me. Every nineteen seconds another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. In much of the world a diagnosis of cancer is still a death sentence. It doesn’t have to be.
We all have a part to play in the battle to end cancer. I encourage you to watch the two minute video, “The Power of One” and let it inspire you.

Thanks for sharing this information with us. I pray you would continue to receive the touch of the Lord and that as we all become aware of what we can do that we do it.

I did not realize how often a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Thank you for the article.

It was amazing to me too! It really seems it has become an epidemic.

I hope soon they come up with a cure for all the cancers. Awareness on our part is very important to also help to stop it.
