There are over 100 types of Cancer.  Such as Breast, colon, rectal, kidney, leukemia, liver, melanoma, prostate, thyroid, skin, brain and eye cancer just to name a few.  Did you know  1 in 2 people in the US will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime. That’s half the population, and its safe to say that almost everyone has been affected by cancer at some point in their life.

Cancer is the second deadliest disease in America, behind heart disease—but the term “cancer” actually lumps over 100 diseases into one
