CANCER AND OUR LIFESTYLE: EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE COULD CONTRIBUTE OR REDUCE RISK

Ever since I heard LifeScience CEO Mitch Genato tell me this over lunch, I have never forgotten it. My mom is a breast cancer HER-2 positive survivor. My cousin, Kara Magsanoc-Alikpala, also beat the disease and then founded ICanServe Foundation, Inc.
