WORLD CANCER DAY


2 Days ago was WORLD CANCER DAY. This was posted on my friend's wall and I would just like to share this to all readers as I found this information to be very interesting & useful as a 'guidance' to not let this disease take over our lives. A friend of ours recently passed away after battling wt colon cancer for about 5 years. There are family members who perished along wt CANCER...Personally, my own father was diagnosed wt colon cancer and was given only 1 month to live (it was only detected on the last stage, even after constant check-ups!) but that was in 1987. It was a miracle that he went through surgery and  eventhough chemo & radiation was scheduled to be after surgery, he didn't have to go. Even the doctors were puzzled but all of us were thankful & praise God for his glory! I for one believe in His miracle. Amen. 
I have another family member who is currently fighting this disease. She is on 3rd Stage of breast cancer and has gone through chemo. It wasn't a joyride but the will to recover in her is very strong. She has 3 growing up kids (5-16yrs old) to look forward to in years to come  and on my part, I'll give her all the support that she needs during these times, as and when required  :)
  Lets us all pray for those whose friend or loved one who is currently fighting, has survived, or lost their battle with Cancer and SHARE to pass the flame. This candle burns for them!
