Great trial information everyone should know!

Thank you 😊 friends at Touch, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance

You’ve heard of clinical trials, but do you know what “phase 1” or “phase 3” actually means?

🧪 Phase 1: Testing safety and dosage
🧪 Phase 2: Checking how well it works
🧪 Phase 3: Comparing to standard treatment
🧪 Phase 4: Long-term effects after approval

Remember— knowing the language empowers you to ask better questions.

Brighten Up Your Meals During Treatment 🍊 Cancer treatments can sometimes dull your sense of taste, making food less appealing. Adding sweet and tangy flavors—like a squeeze of lemon in water or fresh orange slices in a salad—can enhance flavor and make eating more enjoyable. Citrus fruits also provide a boost of vitamin C to support your immune system.

We partner with Savor Health to offer InaⓇ, a virtual Dietician-on-Demand. Sign up to receive more nutrition interventions that can help manage side effects of cancer treatment. It is free and accessible 24/7: https://tinyurl.com/3jtz3wsa

I asked a Stage 3 survivor if she exercised during treatment. She shared that whenever she could, she walked her dog. As exhausted as she was, it pushed her off of her coach and back out into the world. Seeing neighbors and even meeting her future boyfriend.

Small Steps…you can do it….
