Silence Won't Finish the Fight AGAINST Cancer

By AmerCancerSociety (posted on behalf of Relay for Life Santee)

One hundred years ago, the American Cancer Society started the fight of a lifetime -- the fight to end cancer. Back then, the word "cancer" was spoken only in whispers, and we lost almost all patients to the disease.

Today, 2 out of 3 Americans diagnosed with cancer survive to celebrate more birthdays. As the official sponsor of birthdays, our own 100th birthday means it's not a time to celebrate or rest. It's time to change the statistics to 3 out of 3 people surviving cancer. It's time to finish the fight.
