Emcee and cancer survivor Frank Billingsley of KPRC Channel 2 spoke to the crowd about the importance of CanCare’s significance in the cancer community. Healthcare honoree and speaker Dr. Ishwaria Subbiah, oncologist and palliative care and integrative medicine physician, shared stories about cancer treatment during the pandemic and thanked CanCare for supporting those affected by cancer. The traditional candle-lighting ceremony filled the room with candles as a remembrance for loved ones impacted by cancer, and donors received a bell to ring, symbolizing the end of cancer treatment.
