Words on screen: This Daffodil Month, Cassidy shares the importance of cancer research
Cassidy: My name is Cassidy London and I am a breast cancer survivor.
Words on screen: CASSIDY LONDON, Breast cancer survivor
Cassidy: I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of 2022. It was a huge shock. Things moved very quickly, though, as soon as I was diagnosed. And I soon went into treatments, medication, ultimately had several surgeries and radiation. And it pretty much took a year of my life. But fortunately, I was declared cancer-free just towards the end of 2023.
Cassidy: As a cancer survivor, I think that funding cancer research is absolutely crucial. As we fundraise, it helps the research to improve. More advancements are made and then better treatments are available for patients.
Cassidy: To me, hope means that we might have a future where people are not losing their loved ones to cancer, where children don't have to worry about losing a parent, or spouses don't have to worry about losing a partner.
Cassidy: When I hear that it takes a society to take on cancer, I really feel empowered.
Cassidy: It really does need a community to come together and to make a difference.
Cassidy: Your donation to the Canadian Cancer Society today is important because it helps so many people. Today it could be someone else who has cancer, but tomorrow it could be someone within your inner circle.
Cassidy: For cancer survivors like me, funding research means hope.
