Breast Cancer Coalition’s Post

For #TellMeAboutItTuesday, we are so thrilled to learn that H.R. 549 is currently up to 257 cosponsors!! This is huge news and gets us one step closer to passing the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act. We support the National Breast Cancer Coalition's important message of getting to 290 cosponsors, which would open new avenues for getting this legislation PASSED! If your representative has signed on as a cosponsor, reach out to thank them! If they haven't, please ask them to become a cosponsor today. #BreastCancerCoalition #breastcancer #metastaticbreastcancer #MetastaticBreastCancerAccesstoCareAct #GetTo290 #HR549 #advocacy

When William recently hosted a lemonade stand, he decided to donate his earnings to the Coalition, and we are so honored to be a recipient of his kindness and generosity! William, who is the grandson of our longtime friend and Coalition volunteer, Kitty P., even withstood the rainy weather to sell his lemonade. He shared that he decided to do this fundraiser, because he is aware how a breast cancer diagnosis affects the entire family. We are so grateful, William, for your $100 donation and for your support! #BreastCancerCoalition #breastcancer #gyncancer #survivorship #fundraisingfriends

Register today for the first segment of the Gynecologic Cancer Webinar Series. On September 4, 2024 Cynthia Angel will present: Updates in Gynecologic Cancers Medical Treatment." https://lnkd.in/gkaA4tz3 hashtag #gynecologiccancerawarenessmonth hashtag #gyncancer hashtag #survivorship hashtag #breastcancercoalition hashtag #survivorthriver hashtag #GCAM hashtag #move4her 🌟Presentation overview: Significant advancements have been made in the treatment of gynecologic cancers recently. New therapies have been developed, including monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, immunotherapy, and other targeted therapies. Research studies published over the past year have led to integrating these innovative drugs into treating gynecologic cancers, making them part of first-line therapy. Join us as Dr. Cynthia Angel discusses the overall advancements in gynecologic cancer treatment and how the recommended therapies and standards of care have evolved, particularly for ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers.

Today's #TellMeAboutItTuesday is focused on our Breast Cancer 101 or Gynecologic Cancer 101. These one-to-one sessions are often an individual's first introduction to the Coalition after receiving a diagnosis. We are available to offer support and help newly diagnosed survivors get connected with a PALS mentor, along with joining in our discussion groups. We also offer a BC 201 or GYN 201 for those facing a recurrence of their original disease or a new diagnosis of advanced breast or gynecologic cancer. Please reach out to us today - we are here for you. #BreastCancerCoalition #breastcancer #gyncancer #survivorship
