A call to the cancers I have not mentioned over the month...

What'd I Miss?

The entries I have been writing over the last month were aimed at raising awareness for cancer, but even 30 days are not enough to describe the impact that cancer has on life. It would be horrendously inappropriate for me to call "30 Days of Daffodils" an extensive breakdown of cancer and the affect it has on people. The cancers I have mentioned over the last 29 days are among the most common, but I will never say that any cancer is insignificant.

One-Of-A-Kind

My original intent for the penultimate post of "30 Days" was to highlight rare cancers, which, to me, meant cancers that remain largely unknown because they have incredibly low incidence rates. Thing is, cancer is not a rare event; it's happening everywhere and can happen to anyone. It's global, acting without regard for your age, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, socioeconomic status, or even the very DNA that makes you individual. So, whether it's a common cancer or a rare one, it's still cancer, and the way it affects you will depend on you. The statistics are there for the purpose of research and general understanding of cancer's impact on society, but they can't always accurately predict what will happen to you because every case is different.

Nearing An End

This fight is not just for the people that have cancer; it's about protecting the future too. We can end this.
