About the Cancer Council
The Cancer Council Australia and its members rely solely on community and corporate support to continue our vital work in cancer research, prevention & education campaigns, advocacy and support services. To find out more visit www.cancer.org.au or the website for your state or territory.
Facts about cancer:
1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime
In Australia each year, more than 88,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed, that is 10 people every hour
Now more than half of them will be successfully treated
More people are surviving than ever before with the survival rate for many common cancers increased by more than 30 per cent in the past two decades
But, cancer is still the leading cause of death in Australia - over 36,000 people die from cancer each year and so there is more for us to do
The Cancer Council has committed more than $32million to research in 2006.
Survivor
Tina & Janet's Story
Tina was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma when she was only 20 years old. She went through radiation treatment and was well again until a relapse three years later at 23 when the condition became much more serious. She had become very ill and went through a very hard time. Tina had to undergo six months of chemotherapy and her mother, Janet, became her primary caretaker.
Tina was lucky enough to survive her cancer and went on to finally finish her university courses and eventually become a social worker. Since then, Tina, now 35, is happily married in Melbourne with two wonderful children.
Tina's family, particularly her mother, became very passionate about supporting the Cancer Council cause. The family bought a farm in West Gippsland, Victoria and started growing daffodils. Janet, Tina's mother, saw the family's daffodils as a golden opportunity to fundraise for Daffodil Day. The family opens their beautiful farm up to members of the public each annual Daffodil Day. This event has now been going for nine years and has grown to see approx 600 visit the farm over three days of fundraising for the Cancer Council. 20,000 daffodils are planted each year. Both Janet and Tina organise the event every year and are very passionate about the Daffodil Day cause.
They are hoping that this year will be the best yet, with the whole community getting behind the fundraiser. Tina even had her wedding at the farm which was a very emotional and special day, considering she had overcome two incidences of cancer.

Maria's Story
"My name is Maria. Seven years ago my life changed forever. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and three years later diagnosed with third stage ovarian cancer. I discovered that the cancer had spread to my bowels. I started six months of chemotherapy and bought a fabulous wig.
I survived with love of family and friends and a strong a will to live - not wanting to leave my children the way my mother had done when she passed from breast cancer in 1965.
I am now in remission, doing brilliantly, and I am so happy to be volunteering on the Hotline at the Cancer Council.
I'm very grateful to the wonderful doctors who saved my life and gave me back my dignity with their knowledge and advancement in treatments. I know that this is made possible because of the work of the Cancer Council and its wonderful researchers, volunteers and donors. Please support the Cancer Council and buy a daffodil for Daffodil Day."

Dear Sir/ Madam
Last friday I saw on TV advertaisment that Council is considering to ban
smoking in restorants. I am writing to support the Council about finding solution
for this situation.
As a medical practicioner I strongly believe in clean and healthy enviroinment including
restorants. We should protect non-smokers population, pregnant women, children from
smoking and smoke relative diseases. That's mean healthy population and less spend money
to healing problems. Smoking could affect human body from head to toes.
I think the Concil should continue with this positive direction to solve this big problem and in
my oppinion the residents should give all suport they can.
Yours sincerely

The Topic
Today in my class we talked about Alcohol as an enjoyable drug. In my oppinion Alcohol is an enjoyable drug worldwide and we have to respect this. Medical investigation and many studies show that some types and amounts of Alcohol are compatibile with health condition. But it means for healthy adult population and depends of tolerance to alcohol.
I have to mention as a person with medical background that I am not agree with consumption of alcohol of this groups:
- children till age of 18
- pregnant women
- people with health problems
- professional drivers and other drivers
- elderly people and other with some disabilities
Today we are all witneses of great level of criminal and social problems produced from uncontroll abuse of alcohol.
