Stand Up To Cancer

The most important test for colorectal cancer is the test that gets done. ?? While being treated for a stomach infection, Rosa Miguel received an at-home colorectal cancer test at her local clinic as part of the #StandUpToCancer Colorectal Cancer Health Equity Dream Team’s efforts. The team aims to raise awareness and increase colorectal cancer screenings, especially in communities with lower screening rates. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or are the age of 45 and older, talk to your doctor about screening and what options are available to you. #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth

“My type of cancer is not curable, but the latest research has led to the development of new treatments like immunotherapy, which has improved my quality of life and allowed me to spend more time with my family.” Barbara Ketchum is a survivor of stage 4 mantle cell lymphoma, a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, who shares her story to encourage others who are facing a cancer diagnosis to educate themselves about their treatment options.

Too often, cancer goes undetected until it is too late. When cancer is caught early, it is easier to treat and for many cancers detected in an early stage, the chance of a cure now exceeds 90%. This is why #StandUpToCancer has set our focus on making early-stage detection the standard of care. Success could mean saving hundreds of thousands of lives every year, and your support will help us make that a reality. This #CancerPreventionMonth, join the movement today at StandUpToCancer.org. ??????
