I'm sure many Canadians remember that song from the Canadian Cancer Society ads, That's What Daffodil's Do...well now the Canadian Cancer Society has brought us daffodil pins to wear to show support to cancer survivors and their families. I got mine this morning because I am the daughter of a cancer survivor and the grand-daughter of several people who succumbed to their battles with various forms of the disease.
I am an ultrasound technologist and I come in contact with cancer survivors and those who are still fighting, sometimes on a daily basis and so when this disease touches my own family, my mind immediately goes to the possibilities good and bad of a diagnosis.
Unfortunately not everyone survives and we need to be aware so that we can find a cure, not only for the 'infamous' forms of cancer such as breast or colon cancer but also the forms that are not well known. Let's help everyone say that they are survivors.
