ABC News reported on a 26-year-old patient who is now cancer-free after a newer treatment approach. The story says the patient was declared cancer-free in July 2025 and was featured again this week as an example of how newer colorectal cancer therapies are changing outcomes for some young patients!

If you or a loved one has liver metastases, consider asking:

Am I a candidate for Y-90 radioembolization?

Should I meet with an interventional radiologist?

Is my disease liver-dominant?

Can this be combined with my current systemic therapy?

Multidisciplinary teamwork and evaluation matter. The best outcomes often happen when medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, and interventional radiology collaborate. If Y90 is an option for you:

Y90 Microspheres may:

✔ Shrink liver tumors
✔ Control liver-dominant disease
✔ Extend time before disease progression
✔ Improve quality of life
✔ Potentially make surgery possible in some cases

It can be used:

Alongside systemic therapy

After chemotherapy

Or when other options have stopped working

💛 At SayYesToHope.org, we believe patients deserve to understand every potential option — especially ones that are not always discussed early.

Liver-directed therapies like Y90 may not be right for everyone, but informed patients can have empowered conversations.

Hope grows when options grow.

Metastatic Brain Cancer: There Is Hope.

A diagnosis of metastatic brain cancer is life-changing—but it is not without options, and it is not without hope.

Advances in treatment are opening new doors every day.

From targeted therapies that focus on specific cancer pathways…
to immunotherapy that helps the body fight back…
to highly precise neurosurgery and radiation techniques that protect healthy brain tissue…

Patients today have more options than ever before.

At Say YES to Hope, we believe that knowledge brings clarity—and clarity creates hope.

Hope is not just a feeling.
It is a powerful part of the journey.

Research shows that maintaining hope can:

• Improve emotional well-being
• Reduce anxiety and distress
• Strengthen resilience for both patients and caregivers

You are not alone.

There are paths forward.

There are questions to ask.

There are options to explore.

✨ Find clarity. Explore options. Hold onto hope.

Because even in the most difficult moments—
hope can guide the way.

💙 Understanding New Options in Metastatic Urothelial Cancer

What are ADCs and why do they matter?

Metastatic urothelial cancer (a type of bladder cancer) can feel overwhelming—but today, there are more treatment options than ever before, including a newer type of therapy called Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs).

🧬 What are ADCs?
ADCs are often described as “smart chemotherapy.”

They combine:

A targeting antibody (finds cancer cells)

A powerful anti-cancer drug (delivers treatment directly)

➡️ This means treatment is designed to go straight to the cancer cells, helping limit damage to healthy cells.

🎯 Why this matters for patients
ADCs are helping change what’s possible by:

Offering options when other treatments stop working

Improving response rates in some patients

Giving new hope in later lines of treatment

Being studied earlier in treatment plans

Your doctor may discuss whether these are appropriate based on your specific situation.

🩺 Questions to ask your care team

Is an ADC an option for me now or later?

What biomarker testing is needed?

What are the benefits and possible side effects?

How does this fit into my overall treatment plan?

🤝 You are not alone

Every patient’s path is different—but you deserve to understand your options and feel supported every step of the way.

Hope starts with information.

April shines a light on cancers that deserve more attention, more research, and more voices speaking up.
This month, we raise awareness for:

• Esophageal Cancer
• Testicular Cancer
• Head & Neck Cancer
• Minority Cancer Awareness (because equity in care matters)

Each of these represents real people. Real families. Real stories.
Some are often diagnosed too late
Some impact younger adults in the prime of life
Some are preventable or detectable early
And some highlight the urgent need to close gaps in care and outcomes

At Say Yes to Hope, we believe:
Awareness leads to action
Action leads to change
Change leads to HOPE

This April, you can make a difference:
✔️ Share this post
✔️ Start a conversation
✔️ Encourage screenings
✔️ Support someone navigating cancer
✔️ Support SayYestoHope.org

Because when we raise awareness, we raise hope!

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!! Today we share Marlenes inspiring journey!

Marlene Kelly has always had a quiet strength about her.

When cancer entered her life, it illuminated her determination.

Cancer creates questions. Long nights. Moments where everything feels uncertain.

But Marlene chose something extraordinary.

She chose to keep showing up.

Showing up with hope.

Hope in the conversations.

Hope in the small victories.

Hope in the people who stood beside her.

She became the kind of light that others are drawn to—not because her journey was easy, but because she kept going anyway.

And in doing so, she reminds everyone around her:

That hope isn’t something you find once.

It’s something you choose—again and again.
