Quote of the Day

National Cancer Survivors Day is on the first Sunday in June which is June 4 in 2024. Kerry's husband has been battling double kidney cancer for the last six years. He was diagnosed a few weeks after we started this website, so I've been holding down the fort alone on the site since then, as well as her website. Unfortunately, after a six year fight, he passed away in Feb. 2018.
