The silver lining? There are more treatment options than ever, and both women say their bond (and stubbornness) helped them get through the toughest days. If you’re facing a diagnosis, don’t go it alone—find your team! #Health #BodyHealth #CancerAwareness

She Beat the Odds: Sore Throat to Survivor

Imagine thinking a sore throat is just a bug, but it turns out to be blood cancer. That’s what happened to Deb Gascoyne, who was told she might not see her kids grow up.

Cancer Survival Rates Hit All-Time High

Major win in the fight against cancer: the five-year survival rate for all cancers in the US just hit 70% for the first time ever! Some of the deadliest cancers, like myeloma and lung cancer, have seen survival rates nearly double. But there’s still work to do—lung cancer is predicted to remain the deadliest, and big gaps in care exist for Native Americans. Progress is real, but funding and access are still huge issues. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerAwareness

Cancer Cases Have Doubled—Here’s Why It Matters

Just read a wild stat: global cancer cases have more than doubled since 1990, and a new study says the world’s healthcare systems aren’t ready for what’s coming. By 2050, cases could hit 30 million a year. The scariest part? Low- and middle-income countries will be hit hardest. But there’s hope—better prevention, early detection, and access to treatment can make a huge difference. Lifestyle changes matter, and medical advances could totally shift the future. Still, this is a wake-up call for everyone. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerAwareness

How has cancer touched your life, and what keeps you moving forward? Let’s support each other and keep pushing for progress. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerAwareness

What a college cheerleader’s knee pain revealed

Persistent aches aren’t always just from being active—just ask Kelly Mullooly. At 18, this University of New Haven cheerleader was told her knee pain was due to “overuse,” but she trusted her gut and pushed for more tests. The real culprit? Osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Kelly’s journey—through surgery, chemo, and now learning to walk again—shows how important it is to listen to your body and advocate for yourself. Her story is inspiring others to pay attention to lingering pain and support cancer awareness. Have you ever had to push for answers when something felt off? #Health #BodyHealth #CancerAwareness

Buffalo’s mobile cancer screenings save lives

Roswell Park’s EDDY mobile unit is making a real difference in Buffalo, rolling right into neighborhoods to offer free cancer screenings.

This program isn’t just about convenience; it’s about breaking down barriers, especially for folks who might not have easy access to healthcare. With EDDY expanding to more Buffalo districts, how do you feel about health services coming straight to your street? #News #Buffalo #CancerAwareness
