Cancer doesn’t care who you are or what your circumstances are. But everyone deserves the same opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

Most of us don’t enjoy visiting the doctor. Don’t let your fear or anxiety keep you from being assertive about your health. The earlier you catch [cancer], the better chance you have of winning the battle and prolonging your life.
