Like every year, in 2019 too people are rolling out all sorts of comments on different social media platforms – especially Twitter - to show their support to cancer patients. From images of roses to heartfelt messages, people are flooding Twitter with supportive posts. Here are some of the tweets:

Melinda Rose was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer - Askin’s Tumour. While doctors said she wouldn’t survive more than a couple of weeks, she lived on for six months. During that time, she reached out to other patients fighting the same fight and made an effort to cheer them up.
