About Cancer Rose Day
September 22 is observed as World Cancer Rose Day to commemorate the courageous Melinda Rose Hathaway from Canada who bravely survived cancer. In spite of the fact that doctors had given her only six weeks of survival time, she fought with the disease against all odds and lived for six more months. During those six months, she became a beacon of hope for other cancer patients and dedicated herself to make their lives cheerful. The courage and sheer determination with which she withstood this deadly disease was an amazing feat.
