Cancer survivors, their family members, friends and caregivers celebrated National Cancer Survivors Day with a weeklong series of free programs and events at UC Davis Cancer Center.

The week included a panel discussion on the meaning of survivorship, a community forum about cancer clinical trials, a workshop on healing practices and an evening program for couples that explored the impact of cancer on intimate relationships. A survivors' picnic and art exhibit capped the week.

National Cancer Survivors Day is celebrated the first weekend in June in hundreds of communities throughout North America to honor the 10 million Americans alive today who have had a cancer diagnosis.
