When is national cancer survivors day?

My father is a cancer survivor, and we always try to acknowledge his strength. I was wondering if there's a specific day dedicated to cancer survivors? It would be nice to mark that occasion.

Oh, this is such an important day. I remember when my friend was going through treatment, the anxiety was real. It's so vital to celebrate every milestone for survivors, it really gives hope to others. We need more awareness around this.

It's usually the first Sunday in June. A day to acknowledge strength and resilience. Good to know such days exist.

From what my oncology colleagues often mention, it's indeed the first Sunday in June. It's a significant event globally to raise awareness and celebrate life. Doctors always emphasize the importance of early detection and follow-up care for survivors.
