All Cancer Awareness Month
In May of each year, the Cancer Society observes All Cancer Awareness Month, which highlights the various types of cancers, from anal cancer to uterine cancer.
The Cancer Society of The Bahamas also emphasizes the need for regular screening and education to prevent cancer and detect it at its earliest, most treatable stages.
Despite advancements in screening and treatment, many types of cancers continue to be widespread in The Bahamas, with the most prevalent being breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer, respectively.
Join the Monthly General Meeting on Health, Wellness & Nutrition, featuring guest speaker Rebecca Strachan, Nutritionist.

Congratulations you all for a job well done on the first ever Virtual Ball. The event was a mammoth task to execute, but the results were phenomenal.
Who would have thought a virtual ball would have reached so many sponsors that unselfishly supported the mission and vision of the Cancer Society of The Bahamas financially during this critical time of the Corona Virus pandemic.
Thank you Lovern Wildgoose and Nicole Leary-Imhoff, as well as your Committee, as you all have proven that your time and talents are priceless. This year’s event has set the standard and provided a blueprint for next year’s event to be even bigger and better.
Of course we could never repay you for all that you do for the Cancer Society of The Bahamas, but if the world becomes a better place tomorrow, it will happen because of volunteers like you.
