Cancer is one of the most deadly diseases and surviving
cancer is one of the most inspirational things. National cancer survivor’s day
celebrates such individuals who have survived cancer. National cancer
survivor’s day is celebrated on June 5th of every year worldwide. A cancer
survivor is any individual who has been diagnosed with cancer and is living
today. There are 14.5 million people who are living with cancer and 32 million
cancer survivors worldwide. Cancer survival patients celebrate this day with a
goal to spread awareness amongst the cancer patients. On national cancer
survivor’s day cancer survivors come together to raise awareness about the
challenges a cancer patient can face or the issues of cancer survivorship. The
number of cancer patients is growing every year which is why it is more
important to address and spread the awareness about cancer by the cancer
survivors. Many cancer patients do not have proper knowledge or awareness about
the long-term effects of cancer physically or mentally. National cancer
survivor’s day urges everyone to spread awareness about the life after cancer
and that’s something to celebrate and an individual can still do more to lessen
the burdens of cancer survivorship. National cancer survivor day is a
celebration for cancer survivor patient.
