"Come and see how life after cancer is not just about survival. It's about living well. And it's something to celebrate, "says Amy Willadsen, NCSD coordinator at the Reynolds Cancer Support House. "You will find the celebration of National Cancer Survivors Day in our community filled with joy, hope, companionship and compbadion as we honor the cancer survivors of our community. We will also recognize the contributions of their families, friends and health care providers and raise awareness of the challenges facing cancer survivors today. "

Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection and treatment have resulted in longer survival, the statement said. However, a diagnosis of cancer can leave a lot of problems in its wake. Physical, financial and emotional difficulties often persist for years after diagnosis and treatment. Survivors are facing a rapid increase in the cost of medications, insufficient insurance coverage, difficulty finding or keeping a job, and lack of understanding from family and friends.

"Despite the many barriers people face, cancer survivors lead an active and inspiring life, inspiring us all," says Willadsen. "It's time for our community to get up with it and help find ways to ease the burden of a cancer diagnosis."
