Cancer Deaths Drop for 2nd Straight Year

Excellent news! We must continue our fight against this disease.

Do you know what struck me the most about this article? It wasn't the drop, nor the tinge of regret that it'd dropped and Ellicia isn't part of the drop.

The numbers.

Yes, the decrease was 3,014 fewer deaths than the previous year. But worse, we're averaging over half a million men, women, and children dying to this disease in its various forms.

Half a million. Each year.

Think about it.
