80 million people in the United States count on #Medicaid for critical, lifesaving health care, including cancer screenings and treatment. (1/2)

Thrilled to see a wave of ACS CAN volunteers on #CapitolHill today! Our cancer advocates attended the Senate Appropriations LHHS Subcommittee hearing to support the critical need for #CancerResearch funding for @NIH. This is key to ending cancer as we know it, for everyone. (1/2)

Christie shared with @addysbaird from the @sltrib how she could've been impacted by cuts:
“If cuts had taken place, then I would have been left without treatments. My tumor would have kept growing, and, worst case scenario, I would have passed away.”

If Congress goes through with a current bill being proposed, an estimated 11 million people will lose access to their healthcare.
Simply put, this bill is devastating for cancer patients and survivors who depend on their access to healthcare to survive.

This is Christie Sorenson. She survived Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma after being diagnosed at age 23.
She now volunteers with @ACSCANUtah and @ACSCAN and is telling her story to emphasize how important having Medicaid was during her battle...

URGENT: Congress has just days to pass a year-end package, which includes a bill to make multi-cancer #EarlyDetection tests more available.
Last call➡️Send a message to your members of Congress right now urging them to prioritize the fight against cancer. act.fightcancer.org/a/urge-c…

As a 7-time cancer survivor, Kathy knows #EarlyDetection saves lives.
That's why she's urging her Senator @RonWyden to support multi-cancer early detection tests—which can lead to more treatment options & better outcomes.
Join her & urge Congress to act: act.fightcancer.org/a/urge-c…

Programs like the CDC’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (#NBCCEDP) are critical to addressing health inequities and reducing the cancer burden. We're urging Congress to continue prioritizing robust funding for cancer prevention & research.

28 years ago I was brought to this world by my first generation Mexican parents. I wrote a story below from my heart and just needed to vent about our recent challenges that life has thrown at us. Mom’s are special & I am lucky to call Juanita my mom.
