Cancer Survivors: Celebrating Milestones and Staying Healthy

Improvements in early detection, treatment, and follow-up care are helping more people survive cancer. On June 2, 2019, many people across the world celebrated National Cancer Survivors Day – a day to honor cancer survivors and raise awareness around the challenges they face by showing the world that life after cancer is a reality.

If you or your loved one are celebrating being in remission, CDC congratulates you and wants to remind you of some simple things you can do every day to stay healthy such as, being physically active, getting plenty of rest, not smoking, and limiting the amount of alcohol you drink.
