“The words ‘You have cancer’ carry an indescribable weight. Most of us have experienced firsthand the life-changing effects of this phrase, either through our own personal battles or those of our loved ones. We know all too well how the impact of cancer reverberates through families, communities, and society as a whole. Yet, in the face of such a daunting journey, there is another powerful phrase—hope,” says Tricia Fisher, director of oncology services, UnityPoint Health – Trinity Cancer Center.
“The strength of our community that shines the brightest and events like this help to embrace, honor and remember those who have battled or are currently fighting this disease and who continue to hope for continued advancements and work toward a cure,” she said.
