Rare Cancer Day on Sept. 30 was an opportunity for many to reflect: What would they give for one more moment with their loved ones?
Most people pass the day without considering the precious gift of life, without counting each opportunity they get to hug and thank the people in their lives.
People with cancer, however, know how precious each moment is. Over 1.8 million people were diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and that same year it claimed the lives of 608,000.
