IF I ASKED YOU WHAT THE COLOR WAS FOR LEUKIMIA OR BRAIN CANCER – WOULD YOU KNOW?
Many don’t know the answer simply because “pink” seems to be THE cancer color, especially in October where everything seems to be so pink you wonder if anyone still thinks of those battling other cancers. As a cervical cancer survivor my color is teal. Below you’ll find a list of cancer colors and which cancer they represent. If you miss a color, I’d love for you to reach out to me and let me know so I can add it.
If you are currently battling cancer please don’t quit. Keep fighting. I promise you there is light at the end of the tunnel. God bless.
