At the time when FDR was stricken with Polio, it was a shameful thing. Most families would put paralized family members in a back room and not speak of it. It's not been all that long ago that Cancer was also not spoken about. Cancer was tainted with death and doom. Today, more and more, we are able to speak of cancer. Cathy Bates, spoke of her Ovarian Cancer on the today show recently. http://www.ovariancancer.org/ or http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/28576785#28576785 Awareness, that this disease is all around us, that it effects a broad spectrum of our society, and awareness that we are now at a point where the science CAN be harnessed to improve treatment regimes and outcomes. This is something worth fighting for.
It's a new day!
It's a new day!
