CARCINOID CANCER
CARCINOID CANCER is represented by the black and white Zebra wreath. Carcinoid cancer is a type of slow-growing cancer that usually starts in the cells of the neuroendocrine system, which are found throughout the body and help control various bodily functions. These cancers often develop in the gastrointestinal tract (like the stomach, intestines), or in the lungs
CAREGIVER AWARENESS
CAREGIVER AWARENESS is represented by the lavender wreath. In simple terms, caregivers are individuals who selflessly dedicate their time and energy to aid and support to those in need, often the elderly, sick, or patients with disabilities. These extraordinary individuals possess a unique set of qualities that define their roles. Typically, these individuals are compassionate, patient, resilient and nurturing. Caregivers are unsung heroes with a vital role in improving the lives of those they care for.
LUNG CANCER
LUNG CANCER is represented by the white wreath. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the USA and is responsible for 20% of all cancer related deaths. (In memory of my cousin Pam, who recently lost her battle with this dreaded disease).
