You aren’t alone on your cancer journey. Your loved ones are on that journey with you. Larry Holm was a caregiver for his late wife, Sarah. He shares his perspective of the journey and the memories he has.

One of my best friends is about to start chemo for colon cancer and I spent 5 hours this week with him in the hospital. #VictoryOverCancer means that he will beat this awful disease and so will so many others. I hope someday VERY soon we wipe this disease off the planet.
