Cancer Awareness

Leukemia/Lymphoma Awareness Month. Leukemia and lymphoma are cancers that affect the blood or bone marrow. … Unlike normal blood cells, leukemia cells don’t die when they should. They may crowd out normal white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

September is also National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. Both observances are aimed at increasing public understanding of these cancers.
