NMH plans Cancer Survivors Day Nanticoke Memorial Hospital will celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day (NCSD) on Sunday, June 4. This local event is part of a worldwide celebration coordinated by the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation and sponsored by “Coping” magazine and Lilly Oncology. A cancer survivor is defined by the NCSD Foundation as anyone living with a history of cancer — from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life. Ten million Americans are now living with and beyond a diagnosis of cancer. In
the United States, half of all men and one third of all women are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Many forms of cancer can be prevented and most can be cured if detected early. This year’s local National Cancer Survivors Day celebration of life will be held in at the Nanticoke Memorial Hospital Cancer Care Center on Saturday, June 4, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. For more information contact Nanticoke’s Cancer Care Center coordinator at (302) 629-6611, extension 2577.
