Our friends at The Prostate Project are hosting a free PSA testing event on Weds at Guildford Cathedral.
Prostate cancer is often symptomless in its early stages, so testing is one of the best ways to catch it early. This is a great opportunity to get checked.

The 90/10 Rule: Even on hard days, remember that while cancer might affect a portion of your physical health, it doesn't touch your memories, your sense of humor, your capacity to love, or your core spirit.

Stomach cancer is no longer just a disease of older adults. More young people are being diagnosed—often after symptoms were dismissed.
This isn’t about panic, it’s about awareness.
Persistent or worsening symptoms deserve evaluation at any age. Early detection matters.

Our Chair, @TeresaTiano, recently took the stage at the NSM 2026 Conference (January 20–23) to represent the My Gut Feeling (MGF) community. Teresa delivered a powerful presentation on the patient perspective regarding Nutrition and its critical influence on Quality of Life.
At MGF, we believe that nutrition is a cornerstone of the cancer journey. Teresa shared insights into how proper nutritional support affects a patient’s physical strength, mental well-being, and overall ability to navigate treatment. Bringing these lived experiences to the forefront of clinical discussions is how we drive change in patient care.
A heartfelt thank you to the NSM organizers for having us and for recognizing the essential role of the patient voice.
We also enjoyed connecting with industry leaders like @Merck Canada who share our commitment to improving outcomes for patients across the country!
Together, we are ensuring that "Quality of Life" is a priority, not an afterthought.

House FY26 Defense research language keeps stomach cancer in the Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Program, alongside pediatric & AYA cancers. With early-onset cases rising, federal recognition matters.
Final passage pending—but progress.

Finding "Small Joys" as Resistance
In the face of a serious illness, experiencing joy is an act of bravery.
✨ Micro-Victories: Celebrate the "small" stuff—finishing a treatment cycle, a good cup of coffee, or a day where you felt a burst of energy.
✨ Sensory Anchors: Lean into the things that ground you in the present: the warmth of a blanket, the sound of a favorite song, or the smell of rain.
These moments remind you that life is still happening now, not just in the future.
