ACS-Atlanta and National PCa Month

[Guest guest]

From an ACS newsletter this month. This came from the National Office in

Atlanta. Thank you to the Maine Coalition for the heads up from this

newsletter.

September 2005

This month we shift our focus to childhood and ovarian cancers. It's

National Childhood Cancer Month as well as National Ovarian Cancer

Month. We've collected a group of stories from childhood and ovarian

cancer survivors that show the power of hope and determination.

I wonder why they did not acknowledge National Prostate Cancer Month? I

know that some local offices have recognized September but this is just

another example of the ignoring of PCa by some US national cancer

interests.

There is power in coalitions. However, there is also power in one

person, and oftentimes it takes a visionary to step forth, to break new

ground, to look at something differently, and to set an idea in motion.
