World Cancer Day!
World Cancer Day
2025-2027 “United by Unique”
Placing people at the centre of care and their stories at the heart of the conversation.
Cancer is more than just a medical diagnosis - It’s a deeply personal matter.
Behind every diagnosis lies a unique human story - stories of grief, pain, healing, love, family and more. That’s why a people-centred approach to cancer care that fully integrates each individual’s needs, with compassion and empathy, leads to the best health outcome. Excerpt from https://www.worldcancerday.org/
Spotting cancer at an early stage saves lives.
Diagnosing cancer when it isn’t too large and hasn’t spread means that treatment is more likely to be successful.
You know your body best, so if something doesn’t feel quite right talk to your doctor.
Cancer will affect a lot of people, and is a topic that we have discussed many times in this community. Would you like to read more about the topic?
Has cancer affected you or your family? Can you share your feelings with us, and give us any tips or ideas on how to cope or care for yourself?

@MistyMagic
would love to read more on this topic!
@Heather225 thanks, it is a topic that will sadly affect most of us at one point in our life.
@MistyMagic My father had cancer. It was sudden and at stage 4 by the time it was discovered April 5th 2023. It was aggressive and treatments did nothing. 8 months later he was gone.
@mytwistedsoul I'm so sorry for your loss. But your post is good information that we should all bear in mind. It's important to know and understand, file it away incase needed in the future. Thanks for replying!
@MistyMagic Thank you 💜
@MistyMagic I know I missed this but... Seeing the thread now. It's the anniversary of the passing of A friend of mine's from brain cancer. Ive felt quite... Heavy lately. Lots of pain from her passing and not having anyone who knew her seemingly caring that she's gone. Everyone seems to forget I lost her. When... I never will. 😔 the 19th is a terrible day. February is a terrible month for me because she waa gone this week, four years ago. I miss her. I miss the way things were before she was gone.
@ThePoetandthePen thank you for posting. I am so sorry for your loss.
