We are excited about Tigerlily Foundation and Elephants and Tea's continued collaboration. This issue focuses on fertility and the challenges being young with cancer has on the lives of young adults and the community that surrounds them. This incredibly important topic has seen a lot of shadowing over the past year and the importance of patient voices, education and advocacy cannot be stressed enough. The articles in this issue share some of the challenges facing the young cancer community as well as the personal evolutions, blessings and hope our authors have found. Each author shares personal experiences, tips, and insights as it relates to fertility, sexual health and the hash realities and impacts of cancer when diagnosed as a young adult. We hope that you are inspired after reading this new issue, and incorporate the resources into your survivorship, into your advocacy and spread awareness in your community.

📅✨ National Mammography Day! ✨📅 Today is a vital reminder of the importance of regular mammograms in early breast cancer detection. Early screening can save lives by catching issues before they develop further. At Tigerlily Foundation, we believe that the mammogram age needs to be lowered to ensure that more women have access to early detection. Studies show that early screening significantly increases survival rates, and we want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to catch potential issues sooner. Let’s encourage everyone to prioritize their breast health and schedule their mammogram if they haven’t already. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. 💗💪 #NationalMammographyDay #EarlyDetection #BreastHealth #BCAM
