  This World Cancer Day, let's pledge together to create a Cancer-free future, support the fighters, admire the survivors, and spread more awareness to protect our loved ones. #WorldCancerDay Source: World Health Organization (WHO) https://www.who.int/ Learn more at www.worldcancerday.org The theme this year is Closing the Gap. (Did you really think I'd stay away from politics?) "Similarly, the survival of children diagnosed with cancer is more than 80% in high-income countries, and less than 30% in low- and middle-income countries. And breast cancer survival five years after diagnosis now exceeds 80% in most high-income countries, compared with 66% in India and just 40% in South Africa." WHO
