This month, ECU Health Beaufort Hospital, the Shepard Cancer Center, and Spotlight on Cancer will shine a light on bone cancer. The trees on our campus will be illuminated yellow.

Bone cancer is rare, and there are several types. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are most often seen in children and young adults. Pain is the most common symptom. However, not all bone cancers cause pain. Other symptoms may include persistent pain or swelling in or near a bone or an unexplained bone break.

See your doctor to determine the cause of any bone symptoms.

June is National Cancer Survivors Month, and the Shepard Cancer Center at ECU Health Beaufort Hospital recently hosted its annual Cancer Survivors Day event to connect with patients, survivors and caregivers—and to celebrate life beyond cancer. The event featured a family fun day atmosphere, with dinner, games, massages, bingo, ice cream and, of course, dancing.

Cancer Survivors Day is made possible by generous donations to the Shepard Cancer Center, which support programs that nurture the mind, body and spirit of cancer patients, survivors and caregivers. Contributions also help promote cancer prevention and early detection.
