“I just wanted to see my kids grow up.”
– Karen, diagnosed with DLBCL

In Gadsden, Alabama, music had always brought Karen comfort, a way for her to express any emotion.

When she was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and suddenly lost the ability to walk, the thought of being able to return to play the organ helped her push through the pain, paralysis, and months of recovery.

With the love of her family and her faith, Karen beat the odds and is now living the life she dreamed of.

"It was very clear pretty quickly after the procedure that something wasn’t going right.”

– Sean, living with severe hemophilia A

In Escondido, California, Sean is a middle-school teacher, a husband of 11 years, and a dad to three daughters. He loves hiking and backpacking, but life hasn’t always allowed him the freedom to move the way he wanted.

Born during the height of the AIDS crisis, Sean entered the world with a condition that shaped every part of his childhood and beyond. What he didn’t expect was how it would impact the next generation of his family, too.

Today, he’s finding strength through community, advocacy, and the hope brought by advances in care.

“When I got my diagnosis…I remember sitting on the couch the whole week thinking, ‘I don't want to just sit here and let it get me. I want to get it.’”
- Kim, diagnosed with ovarian cancer

Genetic testing revealed that Aaron has Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), a rare disorder that affects a child’s development.

Jennifer and her husband, Brian, were devastated by the news, and they wondered how they would be able to deal with Aaron’s symptoms, especially his problems with sleeping and speaking.

But they were able to get help for some of Aaron’s issues, thanks to a new medication. And even his big sister Abigail played a significant role in Aaron’s progress.

Comment "Caregiver" to celebrate this National Family Caregivers Month with Medical Stories. This November, we'd like to share our appreciation for family caregivers across the country.

Family caregivers can often be overlooked. This month, we're proud to honor the strength, love, and unwavering dedication of those who show up every single day to care for their loved ones.

In this spirit, we're sharing two beautiful stories of unwavering commitment.

Jim was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and his wife and caregiver, J’Ann, has been by his side through every early symptom, every tough moment, and every small victory as they learn to navigate this new chapter together.

Meanwhile, Bessie, was also diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Her son, Phillip Jr., has been stepping into the caregiver role with determination, supported by a family who refuses to let her face this disease alone.

Let’s take a moment to recognize and appreciate the caregivers who give so much of themselves for the people they love.

Tag a hard working family caregiver who you know, love, and appreciate for all their hard work in the comments.
