Believing in oneself as a cancer survivor rather than a cancer patient is a monumental step on the path to recovery. Every year, over 1 million people in the United States are told for the first time that they have cancer. Because of advances in diagnostics and treatments, a large percentage of those patients will survive their disease.
The Cancer Survivors Garden, planned for downtown Greenville, South Carolina will soon be a tribute to those living with cancer. It is a place where the entire community can come together to celebrate the joy in realizing that cancer and survivor can be synonymous.
