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. #StomachCancerAwareness #StomachCancerEducation. #MyGutFeeling

Stomach cancer is no longer just a disease of older adults. More young people are being diagnosedโ€”often after symptoms were dismissed. This isnโ€™t about panic, itโ€™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 20โ€“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 patientโ€™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. #NSM2026 #MyGutFeeling #MGF #PatientAdvocacy #NutritionAndHealth #QualityOfLife #Montreal #StomachCancerSupport #HealthcareCollaboration

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 pendingโ€”but progress.

Finding "Small Joys" as Resistance In the face of a serious illness, experiencing joy is an act of bravery. โœจ Micro-Victories: Celebrate the "small" stuffโ€”finishing a treatment cycle, a good cup of coffee, or a day where you felt a burst of energy. โœจ 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. #MyGutFeeling #StomachCancerAwareness #StomachCancerEducation

Finding out you have stomach cancer changes everything, especially your relationship with food. But a diagnosis doesnโ€™t have to mean the end of enjoying what you eatโ€”it means finding a new, empowering way to nourish your body. ๐Ÿ’› We are so inspired by the work being done at Nourish Magazine. They are proving that even with stomach cancer, it is possible to eat well, find joy in flavors, and provide your body with the strength it needs to heal and thrive. If you or a loved one are walking this path, know that you donโ€™t have to choose between your health and the pleasure of a good meal. You can support your recovery and nourish your soul at the same time. โœจ Read their latest guide on eating and living well with stomach cancer here: nourishonline.ca/eating-and-โ€ฆ Letโ€™s redefine whatโ€™s possible together. You are stronger than you know, and your body deserves to be celebrated and sustained. ๐Ÿฒโœจ #StomachCancerAwareness #NourishYourBody #HealthAndHope #CancerSupport #EatWellLiveWell #NourishMagazine
