Health Report

Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital’s Cancer Center celebrates National Cancer Survivors Day on June 3

H

ouston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is joining nearly 14.5 million American cancer survivors in celebrating the 29th Annual National Cancer Survivors Day® this year. Also being recognized are the many family members, friends and health care providers whose contributions to, and support of, cancer survivors help make the celebration possible.

“Surviving cancer is more than just living. It’s an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest,” said Frances Goerlich, director of Houston Methodist Cancer Center at Sugar Land. “You will find our Cancer Survivor’s Day event filled with joy, camaraderie, hope, compassion, faith and love as we honor cancer survivors for their strength and courage.”

“National Cancer Survivors Day is a great opportunity for cancer survivors, caregivers, friends and family to come together and affirm the possibility of quality of life after a diagnosis of cancer,” added Clive Shkedy, M.D., radiation oncologist and medical director of Houston Methodist Cancer Center at Sugar Land.

Anyone living with a personal history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life – is a cancer survivor, according to the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation®. Additionally, the foundation says that more people are surviving cancer than ever before, thanks to advances in prevention, early detection, treatment and followup care. Cancer, however, does come with many challenges, such as hindered access to cancer specialists

and promising new treatments, inadequate or no insurance, financial hardships, employment problems and psychological struggles. “Despite these difficulties, cancer survivors can live active, productive lives with the support of other survivors,” said Shkedy.

Houston Methodist Cancer Center at Sugar Land welcomes all local cancer survivors and a guest to join us as we honor survivors living with a history of cancer. The Cancer Survivors Day Celebration and Luncheon will be held Friday, June 3 from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital’s new Brazos Pavilion Conference Center. Registration is required. Register online at houstonmethodist.org/events or call 281.274.7500.

Pro Tips Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late to Back-Up

T

How would you feel if you found your dream job and wanted to apply, but could not find your resume?

What if 10 years’ worth of treasured pictures of your babies and kids were missing?

How about financial and tax information….gone?

Unfortunately, these are the kinds of calls we get all the time, and our first question every time is, when did you last back up?

The world moves so fast between work, family, kid’s activities, etc. we can back up our computer files another day right?

Then days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months and months to years. We’ve all been there right?

The fact is that without a regular back up schedule we are ALL at risk of losing our digital life. Computers fail and hard drives have a limited life time.

Here are some alarming statistics: •

30% of people have never backed up their data

•

29% of disk drive disasters are caused by accident

• 1 in 10 computers is infected with viruses each month. Some viruses will delete or encrypt your files and make them unreadable.

You don’t have to be tech saavy to back up your data. Most of our customers either use the Internet often times referred to as the “Cloud” (Drop Box and iCloud are very common examples) or an external drive. Other options with much less space include USB Flash Drives and CDs/DVDs. Our point is…just do something…don’t wait until it’s too late.

Please create a back-up plan and schedule and stick to it. If you have questions or need help with your plan please call us, 281.761.4446.
