Even the drudges working in the labs and merely running tests ordered by others are surely part of a necessary process. The results depend on the care they take in doing their jobs, in the accuracy of their work. They are surely more "heroic" than the celebrities kids look up to, even if their part is a small one, mostly played off-stage.Holly Jahangirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034708581256314628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-55696326770272759672016-02-07T05:01:34.140-05:002016-02-07T05:01:34.140-05:00I haven't lost anyone close to cancer but I am...I haven't lost anyone close to cancer but I am aware how deadly the disease is.

Cancer affects pets, too. Four years ago, we lost our precious furball, Smokey, to lymphoma. He and my dad are buried together.

I think it's the signs, symptoms, and early screenings to catch it sooner that we need to spread awareness for.

Most of them are just toiling in their jobs, being paid like the rest of working humanity.
