Why the South Florida Cancer Association?
The South Florida Cancer Association
was formed because of our own experiences with
cancer.
The greatest
problem was that of
information. Either the
information
was too clinical in
language to be easily understood or it told you
how low your odds of survivability are.
Something a newly diagnosed cancer
patient doesn't need to hear.
We ran into a number of cancer victims with the
same problems. And for those for whom
English was not their
primary
language, the problems were often
ten-fold in difficulty.
Cancer
victims have a need for
information when it comes to
undergoing surgery,
chemo
therapy and
radiation. Not knowing
can often complicate recovery and can even be fatal.
South
Florida needs an
organization devoted to its people.
Cancer
victims need to know what they
face, understand what they are going
through and most
importantly,
that they are not alone.
That there is someone here to help them
cope.
