Our virtual Advocacy Days are an easy opportunity to make your voice heard on Capitol Hill. Check out our current map of delegates! 💚If your state is green, that means we have NO advocates representing your state. We need you! 🧡 If your state is orange, that means we have SOME advocates for your state, but more voices = more impact! It helps a LOT when we have several people in each meeting. So whether your state is already represented or still needs advocates, we need YOU! Join us in the fight for increased #KidneyCancer research funding. 🔗 Sign up now! https://lnkd.in/eWbbYmEp #AcceleratingCures

After receiving a #KidneyCancer diagnosis, one of the first steps your doctors will take is to determine the stage of your cancer. This helps guide treatment decisions and gives you a clearer picture of what to expect. Knowledge is power -- understanding the stage of your cancer can help you make informed decisions about your care. Learn more about the stages of kidney cancer and explore other valuable resources in our Patient Resource Center: www.kidneycan.org #AcceleratingCures
