The groundhog has barely crawled back underground—- and now I find out there’s already another day in early February that demands attention.
Today is World Cancer Day. So, um…….Best Wishes Have a Happy Merry Congratulations FUCK Cancer? That last one sounds about right.
As a cancer activist I can’t write about anything else and I can’t let this day pass unmentioned….and I’m not sure how to commemorate this day designated by the World Health Organization— that feels like so many other days when cancer is on my radar and on my mind.
So…I hope everyone will remind the people you love to quit smoking and wear sunblock and do the things that promote good health.
I’m going to think about all the people cancer has taken away….. those fighting it with all they have…..and work on helping create a world without Cancer Day…..a world with more birthdays. That I know how to celebrate.
