On July 4, 2007, the Taiwan Bureau of Health Promotion held an American Cancer Society University (ACSU) training in Taipei, Taiwan. Thirty scholars from 11 nongovernmental cancer control organizations participated. Nine agencies presented progress reports on their Society-funded projects. The ACSU “Patient Advocacy” and “Strategic Planning” modules were facilitated by volunteers Emery Kong of the Northern California Chinese Unit, and Dr. Daisy Saw of the Society’s New York Asian Unit. This program was a continuation of the ACSU Taipei training in October 2006 and was made possible by the generous support of TTY Biopharm of Taiwan and the Taiwan Bureau of Health Promotion. After the first training in 2006, the Bureau of Health Promotion provided $90,000 in seed grants for ACSU scholars to put their learning into practice at the community level.
I had thyroid ceancr at 25 (after being told that the lump in my thyroid was benign and waiting another 2 years to remove it!) but I am now a proud mom to a 10 week old. Thankfully some forms of it are slow growing and highly curable. Totally off topic but I'm curious how you felt/feel about the scar. The first year I tried to hide my scar all the time but the past 5 years, I rarely try to hide it and surprisingly no one asks me about it.
