Cancer Research For All

I am literally the face of cancer survivorship

What has two thumbs and is the face of cancer survivorship on The National Institutes of Health website?

What an honor and a privilege it is for advocates from all walks of life to be recognized for their efforts. We are rarely born out of the gate, but we are reborn of the absurdist shenanigans and unwelcomed tomfoolery that we never asked for. And for those like me, if we didn't do it, it wouldn't get done.

National Patient Advocacy Day is observed on August 19. Still, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, and we as one united community must own and recognize our tireless efforts and Sisyphean struggles to make healthcare suck less.

"When advocates do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.” – Futurama S4 E8 "Godfellas"

And such shall end a great week.
