1 out of every 2 men and 1 out of every 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer. Nothing is feared more than the words “You Have C-A-N-C-E-R”. 1,529,560 US men, women and children will hear those words this year. Fortunately, the survival rate is 68%. Knowing this, Dr. Melanie Bone founded Cancer Sensibility Foundation. Cancer Sensibility Foundation is the first of its kind to change the perception of cancer as almost always deadly and to help eliminate the “fear” hearing the words “You have C-A-N-C-E-R”.
