AnMed Cancer Survivors' Day Set for Sept. 23 

Hundreds of Upstate cancer survivors will celebrate a touchdown in their battle against cancer Sept. 23 as part of the "Survivors Day" celebration at the Anderson Civic Center.

This event is free and open to all cancer survivors and their families. Survivors who are planning to attend are asked to pre-register by calling (864) 512-2255. In this football-themed event, scheduled from 2- 4 p.m., survivors, family and friends are invited to put on their favorite football jersey or football garb and celebrate a score in the fight against cancer. 

The AnMed Health Cancer Survivors Day celebration will feature recognition of survivors, entertainment, games, shopping and tailgate food. There will also be a photo booth where one can pose in football regalia.

“We get to celebrate the patients and their caregivers," said Samantha Carter, assistant vice president of oncology services at AnMed. "When patients are diagnosed with cancer, they see us sometimes as much as they see their family because they come in for treatment as often as 2 - 3 times a week. We get to hold their hands through the journey. They are family to us, just like we’re family to them.”
