When most of us think about cancer care, we picture the moments that happen face to face. But some of the most important work happens behind the scenes.

This month, we’re recognizing the Oncology Pharmacists at the Whittingham Cancer Center and Norwalk Hospital!

They double-check. Then check again. They problem-solve in real time. They make sure every dose is right, every detail matters and every patient is treated with the care they deserve — even on the longest, coldest days of the year.

Their impact is felt in every treatment, every plan, every step forward. And that’s exactly what makes them unsung heroes. 💙❄️

The first FDA-approved oral GLP-1 pill has officially hit the U.S. market, and there are no needles involved. ❌

Whether you prefer a daily pill or a weekly shot, GLP-1 therapy can support weight loss goals. It really comes down to what fits your lifestyle best.

The pill 💊
✨ No needles. No equipment. Just a daily routine
⏰ Must be taken on an empty stomach with a 30-minute wait before eating or drinking
🎯 Works best if you have a consistent morning routine

The shot 💉
🗓️ Once a week. Set it and forget it
⚡ Often associated with stronger results due to higher dosing
🧊 Requires refrigeration and some planning if you travel

Both options contain the same active ingredient. The biggest difference is how you take it and how well it fits into your day-to-day life.

If you’re exploring GLP-1s, a conversation with your doctor can help you decide what’s right for you, whether that’s medication, bariatric care or another weight management option. Taking control of your health is a brave first step. 💙

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. 🎗️

Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by HPV. Cervical cancer accounts for more than 90% of HPV-related cancers in women, most linked to persistent, high-risk HPV infections.

The good news: when HPV is prevented or detected early, cervical cancer is often preventable. 💙

Understanding HPV, your screening options and prevention strategies puts you in control of your health.

Are you scheduling your spicy self-exploration time? 🌶️😉

During perimenopause and menopause, changes in estrogen and testosterone do not just affect the body. They affect the brain. These shifts can influence confidence, desire and how connected you feel to yourself and your partner.

That is why discussions like this matter.

In this convo, Togetherish Mom and Carolyn Antonion, LCSW + menopause expert at Nuvance Health, connect midlife hormonal changes to confidence, curiosity and better connection in the bedroom at a time when women are rarely given permission to talk openly about desire.

If this resonates with you, you can continue the conversation in person!

Join us for the Red Hot Mamas event on January 21st from 5:30–7:30 PM ET at the Norwalk Public Library, where both Linsey and Carolyn will be there for a full, candid session focused on menopause, confidence and connection.

You are not broken. Your body is communicating. Listening is part of the work. 🔥✨

Proof that community support sometimes comes with four paws. 🐾

The Norwalk, CT Police Department K9 Unit proudly donated $2,761 to the Whittingham Cancer Center at Norwalk Hospital. 🐾

Funds were raised through the efforts of Norwalk Police officers and the department’s K9 Unit to support patients and families facing cancer, along with the care teams who walk alongside them every day.

We’re beyond grateful for community partners who consistently show up for our patients. Because of you, no one has to face cancer alone. Thank you! 💗

Wondering whether chest pain could be something serious can cause hesitation. But when it comes to your heart, it is always better to act quickly.

If you are experiencing chest pain or think you may be having a heart attack, call 911 immediately. 🚨

Emergency services are the right place to go when symptoms feel sudden, severe or even uncertain. Chest pain, trouble breathing, dizziness, nausea or discomfort in the arm, jaw, neck or back should never be ignored.

Primary care providers and specialty heart centers are essential for prevention, diagnosis and ongoing heart care, but they are not equipped to respond to emergencies.

When it comes to your heart, acting quickly can save your life. If something does not feel right, trust your instincts and get help right away. ❤️

🚨 Flu cases are surging, and Influenza A (H3N2) is hitting harder this season. Symptoms can come on fast and feel more intense, but early care can make a difference.

If flu symptoms begin, reaching out to your primary care provider early is key. Antiviral medications may be recommended and are most effective when started within the first 48 hours. Your provider can help guide next steps and monitor symptoms based on your health history.

If symptoms worsen or you’re unable to reach your primary care provider, visiting urgent care can help ensure timely evaluation and treatment.

The ER should be used for severe symptoms such as a fever of 103°F or higher that doesn’t respond to medication, trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion or signs of dehydration.

Knowing when and where to seek care matters. Staying informed helps protect your family and your community this flu season. Scroll to learn what to more of watch for and when to seek care. 💙

Not all sniffles are created equal. 🤧

We broke down four of the most common over-the-counter cold and flu medications to help you find the right fit for your symptoms.

Here’s what we compared:
✅ Which symptoms they relieve best
✅ Active ingredients
✅ What each medication is best for

If you’re dealing with flu, COVID-19 or another winter illness, choosing the right level of care matters.

🤒 Urgent care = moderate symptoms like fever, cough, congestion or body aches
🚨 ER = severe symptoms like trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion or dehydration

As always, talk with your primary care provider about your sick-season plan and choosing the right medication for your symptoms. Stay safe this sick season!
