I was of course very sad to hear about Ted Kennedy's diagnosis of brain cancer. But it is prompting some useful attention to cancer issues. Given that there's been a major oncology conference happening in the past week also, there's been lots of useful cancer news. Here's my favorite one for today:
From CNN, a terrific piece on "what to do when you're diagnosed with cancer." It is a terrific road map for the steps that need to be followed in those first, crazy, terrified days.
Next, be sure to check the comments section from my last post, where a kind reader posted the web address for an article on how vitamin D helps with breast cancer treatment.

Step 8 on what to do should be check this wonderful blog. TYTB!
June 1st in National Cancer Survivors Day. There's a conversation about whether cancer is chronic or acute, a process or an event. For all who are affected by cancer, however, it is clearly much more than a day. To mark National Cancer Survivor's day we're launching a Trusera OneThing campaign. We're reaching out to all advocates and influencers online to weigh in on this issue or share the "one thing the world should know about cancer." Together, we can help educate the world about the experience of people with cancer and the spouses and caregivers that support them.
We'll pick some of the best contributions and highlight them throughout the year, helping the world know that cancer happens three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
We'd be honored if you would share your thoughts with our members.
