    Most cervical cancers are preventable through HPV vaccination. Cervical screening can detect changes before cancer develops. Talk to a doctor and visit cancer.org/get-screened "Sharing your cancer story doesn't have to be long. What you could share is when you had your cervical cancer screening. That's a very short story."

    It’s unconscionable that going to your cancer treatment could mean losing your job or not being able to afford food for your family. And many caregivers face the same dilemma when caring for a loved one who desperately needs their help. A newly released ACS CAN study of recent cancer patients and survivors shows that 74% had to miss work to receive their cancer care or treatment. That’s why we need you to join us in asking your U.S. Senators to not cut the paid family and medical leave program from the House version of the Build Back Better Act. Take action now. http://action.fightcancer.org/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&id=19218&s_src=socials_subsrc=Facebook
