Cancer is indeed a dreaded disease, but when detected on its early stages, it is treatable.

This is the case of at least hundreds pediatric cancer patients at the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital Department of Pediatrics Division of Hematology and Oncology.

However, hope is not lost, as I Want to Share Foundation – headed by Sheila Romero in partnership with the UP-PGH – is keen on helping more people with cancer to survive and cope with it.

"Joie de vivre! Can beat it!", is the guiding slogan of the IWTS Foundation as it patiently and painstakingly watch and care the young cancer victims to their journey to survival.

To celebrate the success, the IWTS Foundation and the UP-PGH held a special graduation ceremony recently for the pediatric cancer survivors, with a Thanksgiving mass, at the Grand Ballroom of the Prince Hotel in Ermita, Manila.
