As we all know Cancer is a number one killer among Americans it's a fight that many has lost. We do have millions of Survivors who have come through this nasty, and cruel Disease that doesn't care who it hits. I know all to well about this Disease as I watched my best friend battle Cancer for two long and painful years. I said long because everyday watching her suffer in so much pain and agony seemed like forever. In 2011 my best friend lost her battle against Cancer, and right now as I write this to you my Grandfather, and one of my Uncles is battling Cancer. Sometimes Cancer hit the Non-Smokers, the Healthiest, the little ones, and the fanatics who wear their SPF 15.

My Hat goes off to you, and to anyone that's battling Cancer keep the Hope, Faith, and believe you will beat this, with so much new evidence around to help you beat this & put this into remission the odds are on your side.
