Eating well during cancer treatment can help support your strength, energy, and recovery, especially in the summer heat.

Here are a few tips to nourish your body this season:
-Choose hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and berries
- Opt for light, balanced meals with lean proteins and fresh vegetables
- Eat small, frequent meals to ease digestion and maintain energy
- Avoid heavy, fried, or spicy foods if you’re experiencing nausea

Most importantly, listen to your body and discuss with your care team what works best for you.

Bone and soft tissue sarcomas are rare but serious cancers that can impact people of all ages. Though they make up a small percentage of cancer diagnoses, their effects are deeply felt by patients, families, and care teams.

This month, we raise awareness, honor those in treatment, and stand with survivors and researchers.

May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month

Each year, more than 25,000 adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with a primary brain tumor. While not all brain tumors are cancerous, every tumor can affect vital functions like memory, speech, and motor skills—depending on where it develops.

Common symptoms include:
- Persistent or worsening headaches
- Seizures
- Memory loss or confusion
- Speech or vision changes

About 30% of brain tumors are malignant, but all require expert evaluation and monitoring.

This Brain Cancer Awareness Month, we’re committed to raising awareness and encouraging early detection.
