How many of you watched Stand Up 2 Cancer on television
Friday night? I bet many of you saw it
because it was on nearly every channel. Some
of you missed it because of all the sports activities revving up for the fall
season.
Anyone who would like to donate to research can go to https://www.standup2cancer.org/ and
for Canada
All of us have been touched by cancer in some way by either
family or friends. My mother died of
ovarian cancer April 4, 1998 . It was a day I'll never forget. Other members of my family have died of other
types of cancer as well. This month is
ovarian cancer month, so lets figure out how to stop cancer.
To learn more about cancer go to the American Cancer Society
website at http://www.cancer.org/.
Have a great week everyone, and I'll see you next Sunday.

I missed the show. I hadn't even heard it was going to be on. Usually I enjoy watching those type of events because you are right...we've all been touched by cancer in some way.
My mom had her uterus removed because of precancerous cells. My grandmother died of cancer which started in her gall bladder. One of my best friends is fighting breast cancer and I had my own cancer scare and had a chunk of my breast removed. I wish there was a way to stop this disease, but it seems like just when we think we find a magic pill, something else comes up.
You're right, Melissa, there's always something else coming up. Do you know that they've decided ovarian cancer is not hereditary? I found that out on the American Cancer Society website. Here, my sister and I have been worried about it for nothing.
Thank you for coming by, Melissa.
This is a great cause Sandy....Let us beat this horrible disease.
My son lost a kidney to cancer.
thanks for posting.

Kari, I'm so sorry to hear about your son. Is he doing okay?
I saw the show - hard to avoid, especially if, like me, you were trying to avoid all those sports programs! So many worthy and needful causes out there, and this one made a huge TV splash. Hopefully the viewer responses were great and will make a difference in people's lives who need aid.
LOL Yes, I avoided the sports programs, too, Polly.
I haven't heard how much they raised, but I'm sure it was reported somewhere. Thanks for coming by, Polly.
