Not just for a day
It’s World Cancer Day, a contradiction in terms if ever there was one. People whose lives have been touched in any way by cancer might stifle a hollow laugh at this point.
The C-word is with us every day in some form or another – not just one day a year. As a former cancer sufferer (now in remission) I have seen and felt the emotional pain of seeing my friends struggle with their own cancers and those of their close relatives. Some win. Some lose – but I think – and passionately hope – that the winners are beginning to gain ground.
