National Cancer Sucks Day

My wife Celia reminded me that today is National Cancer Sucks Day.  Is there a description that better captures the sentiment of a day than this? 

When our oldest daughter was battling cancer 11 years ago I used to wear a button that said “Cancer Sucks”.  Over the years I have loaned it out to a few friends who are battling cancer and it always finds its way back.  I should have worn it today.

I did go back and read an article I wrote back then that was publsihed in Newsweek about my hero, our daughter Eloise (who is now 15+).

She is a wonderful daughter who is at Camp Goodtimes with her sister this week and other cancer survivors, current patients and their siblings for a week of good times.  They deserve every minute!

Here’s the article for those of you who may have missed it 10 years ago.
