Finding out you have breast cancer is devastating enough; being given the all-clear only to get a diagnosis six months later is even worse.
But that is exactly what happened to Gloria Sucgang.
“When my family doctor told me I had breast cancer, I was shocked,” says Gloria. “Six months earlier I had found a lump in my breast, but was told it was benign. All I could think about was having to plan my funeral instead of my teenage son’s graduation, I thought my life was over.”

This October, when it came time to change the casts on his legs, nine-year-old Mason Sajder asked for something a little different.
Inspired by the pink socks and wrist bands his brother’s football team wears to support breast cancer awareness, Mason, requested bright pink wraps for his casts, with a plan to raise money for the disease. Mason set a goal to raise $100 for the Juravinski Cancer Centre Foundation and asked everyone who wanted to sign his cast to make a donation.

Although December 3rd is a day of no particular significance for most of the population, it is not a date that St. Catharines resident Mimi Massuet is likely to forget anytime soon.
For the former fashion model, who graced Europe’s runways in the 40s and 50s, the date marked the first anniversary of a surgery to eliminate a malignant tumour in her ankle, and the fourth time she has triumphed over cancer.
Mimi’s five decade battle with the disease began in 1971, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
