According to the National Foundation for Cancer Research, “Whether someone is still undergoing treatment or has long since won their battle against cancer, June is an opportunity to celebrate all cancer survivors. Nationally recognized as Cancer Survivor Month, June is an opportunity for all 16.9 million cancer survivors across the country to celebrate their milestones and recognize those who have supported them along the way. It is also an opportunity for those who have not been affected by cancer to learn and understand the challenges that accompany survivorship. This year, whether a survivor or not, there are many opportunities to embrace National Cancer Survivor Month.”
We wanted to learn more about events in our area that support survivors, so, Beth Cribb, program director from Cancer Support Community Greater Philadelphia and cancer survivor Mashie Shirken, who is also member of Cancer Support Community Greater Philadelphia, joined us in the PHL17 studio to tell us more.
