The Brave Like Gabe Foundation’s Post

June is National Cancer Survivors Month. There are currently more than 18 million people living with a history of cancer in the United States. Each person diagnosed with cancer faces a unique set of challenges, but one in four survivors reports a poor physical quality of life and one in 10 reports poor mental health-related quality of life. Together, we can do better. AACR celebrates survivors and encourages individuals touched by cancer to learn more about the science of survivorship and discover how research is improving cancer-related outcomes and saving lives.

As the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has made significant contributions to the fight against cancer over the last 110 years. There are currently more cancer survivors than ever before, thanks in part to the work of the American Cancer Society. Yet, there is still work to be done. Cancer is a complex problem, so it takes a comprehensive approach to make progress. As the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, the American Cancer Society continues to work tirelessly to fund research and provide support for all types of cancer, and we are working to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

🎗️This week is AYA Cancer Awareness Week (April 1-5, 2024). As we spotlight the unique challenges faced by Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) battling cancer, it's crucial to spread knowledge and foster support for this resilient community. Cancer in AYAs (ages 15-39) is distinct in its biological makeup, impacting lives at pivotal moments of growth and self-discovery. This week, we honor their courage, celebrate their victories, and remember the importance of early detection and tailored treatments. Let's amplify their voices, share their stories, and unite in the fight against cancer. Together, we can make a difference. 💪💖   Let's not just raise awareness; let's ignite action and hope. 🌈  #AYACancer #rarecancerresearch #maxvinczefoundation  #nutcarcinoma #mymaxstory

Has cancer affected your life? I have personally experienced the gut-wrenching moment of being told, "You have cancer." And it's claimed the lives of my father and father-in-law because it went undetected until it was too late to save them. It also tried to take my mother, brother, sister-in-law, and even daughter. Too often, we don't know we have this insidious disease until it is too late to treat it effectively. The good news is that significant strides have been made in early cancer detection. One remarkable advancement is the #GalleriTest by GRAIL, a test capable of screening for over 50 types of cancer. In light of our family histories, Jean and I both opted for this simple blood test, a crucial step in identifying cancer before it becomes a formidable foe. I am passionate about spreading awareness of this breakthrough test and technology. It has the potential to save lives, and I want to do my part in making it known to those who might benefit from it.
