It's time to learn a little about liver cancer! Liver cancer is hard to detect as many symptoms don't show up until the disease is in an advanced stage. To learn more, visit cancer.org.
This image is dark green writing on a light green background. The header says "Liver Cancer" with an emerald green awareness ribbon. The text says "There is currently no recommended screening for liver cancer. If you are a high risk individual due to cirrhosis, hereditary hemochromatosis, or a chronic hepatitis B infection, some experts recommend screening with blood tests and an ultrasound every 6 months." The relay for life logo is at the bottom with the text "Relay For Life of Midland County."

It's Mammography Day! This is a great time to touch on screening guidelines for breast cancer. If you haven't scheduled your mammogram, here's your reminder! ✅
Light pink square with a pink ribbon at the top and the header "breast cancer." The graphic reads: Breast Cancer can happen to anyone, male or female! It's always a good idea to know what your breasts look and feel like. If you notice any changes, report them to your doctor. Screening guidelines for women at average risk: ages 40-44 should have the option to start screening with a mammogram every year. Ages 45-54 should get mammograms every year. Ages 55 and older can switch to mammograms every other year. The relay for life logo is at the bottom of the picture as well as the words "Relay For Life of Midland County."

I'm a bit late, but your ACS CAN advocates were busy in DC today! Please join them by calling your Member of Congress (DC or local office) and ask them to protect cancer research. They have to finalize a budget by September 30, so please make your voice heard. Feel free to use the script below

Congress has just weeks to pass a bill to continue funding the gov't. Funding for vital cancer research & prevention programs is at risk.

Watch this video to learn why sustained investment in research is critical. Then, send a message to your members of Congress & urge them to #ProtectCancerCures:
Federal funding for cancer research is at risk. Congress must help protect it.
ACS CAN is the leading cancer advocacy organization that is working every day to make cancer issues a national priority.
