It's National Cancer Survivors Day!

Unbeknownst to me earlier, but thanks to trolling around on facebook a bit, I learned that today is National Cancer Survivors Day.  For all the many contrived days to honor people, this is one I heartily support.  (Of course, I'm a pretty big fan of Savvy Aunts Day as well!)

I had the opportunity to speak to Deana briefly.  She's fighting a head cold, so she sounds a bit stuffy.  This is certainly a concern to me.  It comes as no surprise that I inquired as to her treatment plan, which presently consists of taking Vitamin C energy packets -- these are the powdered tubes that are poured into water.  Her assessment is that this step has shortened the duration.  I do hope so.

At her last blood work appointment, her hemoglobin was an impressive 12.2.  My what a difference two years have made.

So, on National Cancer Survivors Day, I salute all those who are courageously battling this dreadful disease, along with those who have slayed the demon.

Let us all continue the fight to find a cure.
