Day 6 Update: Tributes: to one of my early work Mum's, EN, who passed away after a long battle with breast cancer. To my pal F, who told me recently that he has aggressive prostate cancer and has been given a prognosis of 2 - 3 years. To my friend, E, who has successfully fought off prostate cancer. You all inspire me. Cancer Fact: Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the world. But survival rates are improving for many types of cancer, thanks to improvements in cancer screening, treatment and prevention. Symptoms Signs and symptoms caused by cancer will vary depending on what part of the body is affected. Some general signs and symptoms associated with, but not specific to, cancer, include: Fatigue Lump or area of thickening that can be felt under the skin Weight changes, including unintended loss or gain Skin changes, such as yellowing, darkening or redness of the skin, sores that won't heal, or changes to existing moles Changes in bowel or bladder habits Persistent cough or trouble breathing Difficulty swallowing Hoarseness Persistent indigestion or discomfort after eating Persistent, unexplained muscle or joint pain Persistent, unexplained fevers or night sweats Unexplained bleeding or bruising When to see a doctor Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that concern you.

Childhood brain cancer is becoming more common, while adult diagnoses continue to decline. Yet, most of the money that is devoted to studying brain cancer focuses on finding new treatments for adults. Your donation today has the power to change this. Your support funds science that focuses on diagnosing and treating tumors in young, developing brains. And thanks to a generous donor, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar until the end of #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth. Every dollar you donate is doubled. Every dollar goes farther toward accelerating progress toward effective treatments for childhood brain cancer that will help kids not only survive but thrive.

Breast cancer awareness hits home for me in a profound way. As a 25-year-old, I watched my mother’s life be taken by breast cancer in just three short months. It was a devastating reminder of how aggressive this disease can be if not detected early. Breast cancer is highly survivable when caught in time, and that's why awareness, early detection, and regular screenings are so important. 💗 I stand with the incredible survivors, advocates, and those still fighting this battle. Let's keep spreading the word and making a difference. Regular Mammograms: Mammograms are the most effective screening tool for early detection. Women aged 40 and above, or those with higher risk factors, should follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations for regular screenings. Self-Exams: Performing monthly breast self-exams allows you to become familiar with your body. This helps you notice any unusual changes, like lumps, swelling, or shifts in size or shape, that should be reported to a doctor. Above all, advocating for yourself is crucial. If something feels off, trust your instincts and push for further evaluation. Early detection saves lives! 💗 #BreastCancerAwareness #SelfAdvocacy #EarlyDetection #HealthTips #MoreThanPink #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #InHonorOfMyMom #SusanGKomen
