Cancer care has come a long way, but survivors say there’s still so much we don’t talk about—like the hidden costs and the emotional rollercoaster.

Early detection saves lives, but we need more research funding to keep the progress going. And yes, young people—cancer isn’t just an older person’s problem anymore! #CancerSurvivor #EarlyDetection #PatientAdvocacy #Health
