Every survivor has a story.

Some stories began with uncertainty. Others with determination. All are marked by extraordinary strength.

This National Cancer Survivors Day, we celebrate the individuals, Hector DeLeon, Joe Gigli, and Surya Khan, who shared their journeys during our cancer survivor's day event and the countless survivors whose courage inspires hope in others every day.

Thank you to the patients, families, physicians, and team members who came together to honor survivorship, support one another, and celebrate how far so many have come.

💜 Happy National Cancer Survivors Day.
