Kidney Cancer Awareness Month

Whereas, In 2007, more than 50,000 people were diagnosed with kidney cancer according to the American Cancer Society; and,

Whereas, The exact cause of kidney cancer is unknown; however, early detection can help to offset the spread of cancer; and,

Whereas, Recent advances in diagnosis and surgical procedures such as radiation and chemotherapy allow even more patients to live with the disease while maintaining their normal lifestyles; and,

Whereas, More than 200,000 kidney cancer survivors are living in the United States;

Now, Therefore, be it Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, governor of the state of Michigan, hereby proclaim March 2009 Kidney Cancer Awareness Month in Michigan. I encourage all citizens to increase their knowledge of this and other types of cancer to recognize the importance of finding a cure.
