A cancer advocate's voracious quest to understand the science and history of this craptastic disease.

First Attempt at the Big Cancer Picture
So I just spent way too much time this afternoon creating a cancer timeline in Microsoft Paint that is really hard to read. Oops. But I am going to publish it anyway! This was my understanding of what I am calling the Big Cancer Picture (how it started, how treatments began and have developed, the roots of cancer advocacy, etc.) after reading
One in Three. So, get out your microscope, and without further adieu...
As a caregiver to my stepdad John, who passed away from colon cancer in 2004, I didn't want to know anything about the disease. Now that crippling fear of cancer has been replaced with a determination to learn everything I can about it. Through knowledge, there is empowerment. Through empowerment, for me, there is peace.
