There are some things your doctor doesn’t fill you in on during treatment, like what summer feels like while battling cancer.

The heat, the fatigue, and the sun sensitivity can hit especially hard during the summer months. That’s why, in our latest newsletter, we’ve gathered survivor stories and real-life guidance from those who’ve lived it.

Be sure to join our mailing list to become part of our ever-growing cancer family at mycancerfamily.com for future newsletters! ☀️💛

In her Own Words: I was diagnosed with stage lllb breast cancer when I was 36 years old and pregnant; terrified that I wouldn’t live long enough to deliver, or to still be a mom to my 3 tiny daughters. My husband and I were quite fortunate to be introduced to a brilliant oncologist who knew how to treat pregnant cancer patients…and he saved us. We went through chemo during the whole pregnancy, and then had a strong, healthy, handsome little baby boy at the end. I’ve had a recurrence since then, but it has been fuel to my fire. I speak globally to medical groups, pharma communities, corporations and any group who needs to learn about hope during challenges.

Welcome to the My Cancer Family Instagram. You may know we launched in July with a newsletter but we have so much more to bring to you and we can't wait to share what we are building.

Are you a survivor or do you have a friend, family member or colleague on a cancer journey? We are here to support you and them in every way their doctor or nurses can't. We love doctors and nurses, but they can't do everything to support someone on a cancer journey. My Cancer Family is here to help in every way that is non-medical.

We know the current cancer patient journey for support is uncoordinated, overwhelming and difficult to navigate.

We are changing the cancer journey! Please follow along and share with your friends. Welcome to the My Cancer Family Instagram. You may know we launched in July with a newsletter but we have so much more to bring to you and we can't wait to share what we are building.
