In partnership with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), January is designated as Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month with a purpose to provide fire fighters the necessary tools and guidance to develop life-saving protocols for cancer prevention and to offer support to those with a cancer diagnosis. This is a critical focus as occupational cancers are the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in the fire service.

Once someone receives a cancer diagnosis, connecting with the best resources available to help is extremely valuable. Many hospitals and medical centers have patient advocates to help with questions and issues related to cancer care. There are national patient advocacy organizations for most of the commonly diagnosed cancers, as well as many locally based options depending on where the patient lives.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Increases in screening and prevention have lowered the annual number of cervical cancer diagnoses, but continued efforts are needed.

More patients are finding it helpful to have access to their health care provider's electronic clinical notes, which summarize the information from medical visits. Also known as "open notes," these may include test results, diagnoses details and treatment options. Many cancer centers are making the notes and test results available to patients through the electronic health portal. Ask for details about how to access this information.

People being treated for cancer can still enjoy a healthy and delicious holiday. As you plan your menu, keep proper nutrition top of mind. In general, your goals should include getting the nutrients your body needs while also enjoying this special time with your loved ones. Cancer treatment and its side effects may affect your appetite and your ability to eat so do the best you can. It may be helpful to learn about nutrition recommendations that provide people with easy-to-follow guidelines for what and how much to eat. Two sources are MyPlate and The New American Plate. These two dietary recommendations use the major food groups to help you build healthy meals for you and your family.

Cancer survivors do not have to go through everything on their own. Today, many organizations have programs that will match patients with a survivor who faced a similar diagnosis. These volunteers can truly understand what living with cancer is like, and they have a lot of wisdom to share from their experiences. Patient Resource offers a mentor service to match patients with someone who survived the same type of cancer. Go to https://www.patientresource.com/Patient_Matching_Service

If you have cancer when the holidays approach, you may find that you experience some different emotions than usual. These unexpected feelings may include a negative type of stress, anxiety and sadness. Taking care of your emotional well-being will help you cope and better manage the side effects of cancer and its treatment, helping you to better enjoy the holiday season. Surround yourself with support, and remember that you are not alone. Contact the American Psychosocial Oncology Society Helpline at 866-276-7443 for additional assistance.

Today is National Oncology Navigator's Day! Established by the National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCBC), this day, honors the vital role oncology navigators play in supporting cancer patients. This annual day recognizes the invaluable work of these dedicated professionals who guide individuals and families through the often-challenging journey of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.

The number of people surviving cancer continues to grow each year – one of many reasons to give thanks this season. Advances in early detection, innovations in treatment options and improvements in side effect management can be credited with the increasing number of survivors. Although life after cancer may look different than the one before treatment, it can be very positive with the right approach.
