Cancer Myth-Busters for World Cancer Day

Today is World Cancer Day --
Take a minute to pause and think about how cancer has affected the friends and family in your life, and how we need to keep creating awareness to fight it.

And, what a better way to start it than by taking a short (5 questions) quiz to bust some myths around cancer?

Take the quiz on the LIVESTRONG web site and share with your family and friends to help spread awareness today. http://quiz.livestrong.org/quiz2012/

A Livestrong Christmas

While I was happily snuggled up with my dog enjoying sleeping in on the holiday weekend, I decided to check Facebook.

It was an early Christmas gift.

There on my profile page was a "tagged" photo --- a LIVESTRONG badge, hanging from a Christmas tree...all with love from the LIVESTRONG Leader and fellow friends in San Jose, CA.

They celebrated Christmas in the park, LIVESTRONG-style. To be honest, the idea, well, rocks. This time of year, I am so thankful to my friends and family...and also to my health (cancer free!)...which allows me to enjoy spending time with all of them.

"Unity is strength" is one of the LIVESTRONG mottos -- and I think it's very true. Today, I felt the solidarity from my pals in San Jose, and they reminded me what this season is all about for me.

Happy Holidays. Cures Rock!
