My brother in law has stage 4 prostate cancer. He was told that there was nothing they could do for him. He did his research and found some alternative radiation therapy at a place called VCI in LA. He has been receiving treatments there since January I believe and is seeing lots of progress. He is a very positive person and is very determined that he will beat the cancer. The American Cancer Society has been a huge help to Mike and his wife, Diane. They have helped with out with several resources and even connected him up with Angel Flights, which flies him home every other weekend or so.
The American Cancer Society is having a Relay for Life, which my sister in law, Diane and Mike's daughter, Abby is participating in. Here is the info on it:
"Can you believe that more than 1.3 million new cancer cases are expected to
be diagnosed in the United States this year? Those are staggering statistics,
but there is hope. Each of us can do something to save lives and help those
already fighting this disease. That's why I've decided to take action against
cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society Relay For Life® event right
here in my community.
Relay For Life is an overnight event that brings our community together to help
support the American Cancer Society and its lifesaving mission to eliminate
cancer as a major health problem. The Society works hard every day to prevent
cancer and save lives by supporting groundbreaking research, affecting public
policies that protect us from cancer, and educating people on how to prevent or
detect cancer early. The Society helps people with cancer right here in our own
community. And our efforts at Relay For Life can help the American Cancer
Society to keep working toward a cancer-free future.
I want to invite you to show your support in the ongoing fight against cancer
