It's a crucial step in catching signs of testicular cancer early. Think of it as a monthly subscription to your health - no fees, just feels. Remember, early detection is key. It’s like catching a typo before hitting send on an important email - the sooner, the better. Let’s not make testicular cancer the autocorrect fail of your health.

Share this message, because caring is all about sharing - especially when it comes to health tips that could save a life. Or two. 😉 #TesticularCancerAwareness #CheckYourself #HealthIsNoJoke #ButWeStillMakeJokes #TheGlaucomfleckens

Lung Cancer Awareness Month 2023 I lost my first official mentor and friend to Small Cell Lung Cancer. John was a tough Boston ED Nurse who led me down the path that undoubtedly affected who I am as a person and a professional today. Well over a decade ago, the science just wasn't there yet. Today, we see science evolving every day and I am beyond proud to be part of the equation. I live in Maine where there are still a lot of smokers, low access to healthcare and high levels of Radon along with other environmental toxins. All of these risk factors highlight the importance of asking your Physician if you should get screened. Here's what you can do for yourself or loved ones: 1. Make your house and car clean air zones, with no smoking allowed. 2. Avoid places that are not smokefree, and advocate for smokefree air policies in restaurants, bars, casinos or anywhere they are not in place. 3. Test your house for radon. 4. Reduce your exposure to unhealthy outdoor air. See the state-by-state breakdown in the link below to see how your state stacks up against the rest for several data points. Together we can all make a difference for patients and families. #lungcancerawarenessmonth #screeningsaveslives #nursesonlinkedin #smokingcessation #primaryprevention #tellafriend #getscreened #patientsfirst
