I think we can all get behind World Cancer Support Month. Most of us have been affected by Cancer whether it be ourselves or someone close to us and we understand the support that is needed. I was traumatized when I was diagnosed with Cancer at 28 years old, it changed the trajectory of my life. I was one of the lucky ones who didn’t need chemotherapy or radiation. The cancer was removed during surgery, I was very lucky. My husband has two types of cancer that is slow growing but it’s no less worrisome.
World Cancer Support Month, observed annually in August, stands as a beacon of solidarity and hope for those affected by cancer across the globe. This dedicated month serves as a reminder of the immense strength, resilience, and compassion that unite individuals, families, and communities in the face of this challenging disease.
Cancer, an intricate ailment, arises from the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. These cells can develop into tumors, affecting nearby tissues and, in some cases, spreading to other parts of the body. With over 100 types of cancer, each characterized by distinct behaviors and treatment requirements, it’s a complex adversary that demands comprehensive understanding and dedicated research.
World Cancer Support Month takes a multifaceted approach to addressing this issue. It not only emphasizes the importance of providing medical treatment but also highlights the need for emotional and psychological support for those dealing with cancer. The emotional toll of the disease on patients, families, and caregivers cannot be understated. By fostering an environment of open dialogue, the stigma surrounding cancer can be dismantled, encouraging more people to seek help and resources.
Don’t forget those around you with Cancer and do something thoughtful for them. Sitting and talking is a great start and helping run a few errands or cooking a meal is extra special.
