A cancer diagnosis today may still leave us feeling hopeless, but we are not hopeless and we are not helpless. We are living in a golden age of research and discovery. We can end this terror, and all of us have a role to play. Because this isn’t just about hoping that one person will decipher the answers alone; it’s about listening to patients and survivors and their families, and easing the burden they face.

We asked you to share the stories that will inspire change.
Here are just a few of those stories.
I have had Lymphedema for 51 years due to cancer in right foot and year later in lymph nodes. My right leg is bigger than left leg due to lymphedema. I am a cancer survivor. Treating lymphedema is a consent daily habit for me — wearing special stocking and night stocking, eating properly, and exercising to keep up mobility. I was 15 years old when all this happened to me. So many people deal with this condition…Many are survivors
