This was 2.5 yrs ago. He’d just told me to keep the fight up against cancer. I told him I hated the wigs and hats. He said at least my hair would grow back - his wouldn’t and maybe he should borrow the hat. I laughed. It meant a lot to a sick woman.

Let’s be more precise with our language. Russia is “kidnapping”Ukrainian children. “Deporting” does not adequately describe Russia’s actions. Up to 16,000 Ukrainian children have been taken by the Putin regime according to the Zelensky government.

#BREAKINGNEWS : The #cancer death rate declined by 29% from 1991-2017, including a 2.2% drop from 2016-2017. The steady 26-year decline is driven by long-term drops in death rates for the four major cancers- lung, colorectal, breast, & prostate.
