Cancer. It's a diagnosis that no one wants to hear. For many people, this is the most devastating thing that they can imagine. Janet Vitt-Sommers, however, says that cancer was a blessing for her.
This counter-intuitive statement makes you stop and wonder how someone can come through such a terrible experience and be thankful for it. To find out, we sent Julie Hahn to talk with Janet and her friend Mary McHugh to hear how cancer has affected their lives. In the course of the conversation, we learned more about the Cancer Support Ministry at Parkside and how this group has helped Janet, Mary, and many others through their struggles with this disease.
If you're struggling with cancer, or have a family member, a friend, or a co-worker who has been affected, take a minute to read about this ministry and see how you might be involved.
The Cancer Support Ministry meets at 11:15 on the first Sunday of every month in room 224. Join them on May 3 for their next meeting.
