Stars Stand Up to Cancer in Telethon

Posted on August 27, 2008

Farrah Fawcett, Patrick Swayze and Christina Applegate have been brave enough to share their cancer diagnoses with the world -- and now Tinseltown's shining stars are uniting for an unprecedented live television fundraiser, "Stand Up to Cancer."

"Desperate Housewife" Dana Delany shared an intimate video of her screening for breast cancer -- including a mammogram and breast exam. In the video, Delany learns from a doctor about self-examination, saying, "You do it lying down -- I didn't know that. You don't do it in the shower."

Get informed and join the fight, when "Stand Up to Cancer" airs on NBC, CBS and ABC on September 5.

I also have lost my mother to cancer in December 2002 and hopeful that someday they will find a cure for all types of cancers.
I would still like to donate if they are accepting donations.

I am happy to see this new fundraiser for cancer. I lost both my parents 6 months apart in 2001 to cancer. I hope it touches on family members and how to care for yourself as well as your family member with the disease, and also how to cope if they do pass. Its also important to get resources out there for insurance issues, as well as free drug programs and financial assistance. Many people do not know where to turn when they get hit financially by cancer, and there is a lot available, but not advertised.
