Cancer changes lives, but knowledge changes the journey. Understanding the different treatment options gives every patient and family a sense of direction, dignity, and hope. Each therapy—whether surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or newer targeted approaches—represents a powerful step toward healing. When we share this information, we strengthen our communities. When we stand together, we remind one another that hope is real, support is near, and no one faces cancer alone.

Your thyroid is a small gland with a big job. It is butterfly-shaped and located in your neck. It regulates your metabolism, energy, mood, and more.

Did you know you can check your own neck for thyroid abnormalities? It’s a simple 2-step process:
1. Stand in front of a mirror and tilt your head back.
2. Swallow a sip of water. The thyroid gland becomes visible. Look for any signs of swelling, bulging or anything unusual. Repeat as needed.

Do this regularly to become familiar with what your normal thyroid looks like. Remember, have a proper check up by your doctor during appointments.

January is Thyroid Awareness Month!

Colorectal cancer is now the #1 cancer killer for people under 50 and the second leading cause of cancer death when combining men and women, notes the American Cancer Society and Colon Cancer Coalition.

Rates are increasing in younger adults due to factors like:
‼️ poor diet
‼️ sedentary lifestyles
‼️ processed foods

Screening often starts later leading to an increase in late stage diagnoses and deaths.
