Health and Wellness Channel Theme Day Is All About Cancer

If you haven’t noticed, we are Science and Health channel no more. This fabulous channel is now called the Health and Wellness Channel. More fitting, eh?

Anyways…since the month of April is Cancer Control month, we saw it fitting the this month’s channel theme day should be all about cancer.

And it’s all about cancer today indeed, as Marijke of Help My Hurt hosts.

Though everyone came up with their best entries, my personal pick is of Pink Ribbon Review’s Karen Lynch.

In a post entitled There Are Survivors Among Us, Karen wrote:

That photograph? That’s me, not even one year after my initial treatment ended. That’s me, with a pink ribbon on my sleeve. That’s where I wear my heart, always have, always will. That’s me.

That day? I was with my husband and my children enjoying a perfect afternoon. We were at a picnic and my children were deeply involved in a craft project. My husband was snapping photos. I was enjoying my kids and my husband and thinking about how lucky I was to be spending the day with them all. How blessed I was to be able to see their busy bodies and smiling faces. I was thinking about how happy I was to be alive.

Thank you very much Karen for sharing your story to us. I am pretty sure that many readers out there will be inspired by you.

Theme day is all about cancer. Hope on over at Help My Hurt.
