Happy World Cancer Day!

It might not seem very happy that there must be a World Cancer Day, but if we use the day for good, well, then, it can be a happy February 4. Set the dismal stats aside (without intervention, an estimated 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005 and 2015, uugh!), and instead, do something that ensures the disease will one day fade into the shadows. Some ideas: stop smoking, limit alcohol consumption (yea, that too), eat right and exercise well, get your recommended screenings (like mammograms and skin check-ups) and ditch the stress.

Another idea: honor those in your life who have done battle with cancer, because you know what? They are the ones who pave the way for the progress we do see in the fight against such a crappy disease.

Today, I thank all the women who went before me and volunteered their bodies to test the wonder drug Herceptin, which happened to become available just when I needed it. It might just reduce my chance of recurrence by something like 50 percent, and that, well, that makes me very happy.

Happy World Cancer Day!

    I think you are amazing and a wonderful role model for your children. Reading your intro makes me a little worried, as I have a few rolling painful lumps that 3 doctors don’t care much about. Not sure if I should make more of a fuss now.

    Anyway, happy World Cancer Day (a day late). Check out this video from Stand Up two Cancer, featuring Jim Parsons of the Big Bang Theory. If nothing else, I hope it brings a smile to your face! http://bit.ly/a9yMED
