Cancer Survivor’s Day is Celebrated in the Month of June<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Everyone’s life has been touched by cancer, whether it’s through personal experience or that of family and friends. We all have a reason to participate in National Cancer Survivors Day<\/a> on June 4, celebrating the advances in cancer treatment<\/a> that have given hope to so many people.<\/p>\n

What Is National Cancer Survivors Day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 15.5 million people in America are cancer survivors<\/a>, which the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation defines as “living with a history of cancer.” Thirty years ago, the first Sunday in June was designated as a day to honor these cancer survivors, provide inspiration for those recently diagnosed, and support the families who are affected.<\/p>\n

While National Cancer Survivors Day is primarily a time of celebration, the Foundation also uses the event as an opportunity to educate people about the challenges that cancer survivors continue to face.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cancer survivors may have difficulty fitting into their personal and professional circles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Risk for secondary cancers and other problems is greater for cancer survivors.<\/p>\n
