Local Event to Celebrate Cancer Survivors

 
CRESTVIEW, Fla. - June 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Join 21st Century Oncology to celebrate life and cancer survivors for National Cancer Survivors Day on Saturday, June 7, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 21st Century Oncology Cancer Center Crestview, 601 Redstone Ave. Crestview, FL 32536. The “Hoedown” celebration is free and open to cancer survivors, families and the general public. Food, entertainment and free t-shirts for survivors will be provided.

Partnering with North Okaloosa Medical Center, 21st Century Oncology will be part of a worldwide celebration coordinated by the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation and supported nationally by Coping® with Cancer magazine. National Cancer Survivors Day (NCSD) is officially observed on June 1.

“Come learn how surviving cancer is more than just living. It’s an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest,” says James H. Stevens, M.D., Board Certified Radiation Oncologist with 21st Century Oncology. “You will find our community’s NCSD event filled with joy, camaraderie, hope, compassion, faith, and love as we honor cancer survivors for their strength and courage. We will also recognize the contributions of their families, friends, and healthcare providers and discuss the issues faced by cancer survivors today.”

Anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life, is a cancer survivor, according to the NCSD Foundation. Nearly 14 million Americans are now living with and beyond a diagnosis of cancer. Learning about this disease is crucial, as many forms of cancer can be prevented and most cured if detected early.

“Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment have resulted in longer survival, and therefore, a growing number of cancer survivors,” says Dr. Stevens. “However, a cancer diagnosis can leave survivors with many challenges, such as limited access to cancer specialists and promising new treatments, inadequate or no insurance and financial hardships. In light of these difficulties, we hope our community will join together to focus on improving the quality of life for cancer survivors.”
