The second edition of ‘Survivor’, an e-magazine which shares the experiences of cancer survivors, was launched last Saturday by the Giving Hope Foundation (GHF) during a gala and dinner at the Ramada Princess Hotel.
According to Dr Latoya Gooding, who conceptualised the foundation and the magazine, it gives each cancer survivor the opportunity to tell their story and share their journey and to positively impact the lives of others who may be new to being diagnosed with the disease.
Dr Gooding, who is an oncologist at the Georgetown Public Hospital and a strong advocate against the disease, told The Scene that it was not an easy task for her team. “We have been compiling stories for the past two to three months and the publishing and the reviewing and the prop-reading took about a month,” she said.
