If you're in one of our offices this month, you'll see we have amber lights displayed along with some information on appendix cancer. August is appendix cancer awareness month - check out the website for more information about this rare form of cancer.
August is Appendix Cancer Awareness Month - a whole month dedicated to shining a light on this rare and often overlooked disease. Why? Because appendix cancer is on the rise, and greater awareness means more support, more research, and more hope for new treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
This year, Pseudomyxoma Survivor the Appendix Cancer PMP Research Foundation, PMP Pals Appendix Cancer Network, Abdominal Cancers Alliance, Association contre les maladies rares du péritoine, and Asociación Peritoneum stand together to increase understanding and support for people affected by appendix cancer and the related condition pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP).
Amber is the official color of Appendix Cancer Awareness. It represents the courage, strength, and resilience of patients, caregivers, and families facing this challenging diagnosis.
By uniting our voices and sharing knowledge across our platforms, we can reach more people and build a stronger community. Together, we are louder, braver, and more determined than ever.
Join us this August to spread awareness, honor those impacted, and push for progress in the fight against appendix cancer.
