Mother Nature may be trying to hold on to the winter outside, but thanks to the students at North Country Science and Technology (NCSTEP), spring has sprung at the CTC!! 💐

Leigh-Anne RedFern and her colleague Mary Stickney stopped by today with a couple of students, to spread some cheer and deliver handmade pipe cleaner flower arrangements for patients and caregivers!

Due to limited participation, our cancer support group will be on pause for now. We understand that when someone is going through treatment, recovery, or caregiving, life can already feel very full. Between appointments, responsibilities, and the emotional weight of it all, even something supportive can sometimes feel like one more thing to manage.

While the group is on hold, please know your team here at the Richard E. Winter Cancer Center is always here for you.

If you're looking for support in the meantime, CancerCare offers free online groups for patients, survivors, caregivers, and those who are grieving. They're led by oncology social workers and organized in a way that helps you connect with people in similar situations.

Learn more: cancercare.org/support_groups
Call: 800-813-HOPE (4673)

We appreciate those who have taken part in the group. We will share any updates if support group opportunities become available in the future.

Oral, Head & Neck Cancer Awareness Week is April 13-17, 2026.

This week is a reminder to know the signs, stay aware, and pay attention to changes that do not go away.

More than 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral, head, and neck cancers each year. These cancers can affect the nasal cavity, sinuses, lips, mouth, salivary glands, thyroid, throat, and larynx. HPV can also be a risk factor for some oral, head, and neck cancers. To***co use, including smokeless to***co, is another important risk factor and can increase the risk of oral, head, and neck cancers.

You know your body best, so trust yourself when something does not seem right. Watch for changes such as:

• a change in voice
• a lump in the neck
• oral sores or lesions that do not heal
• a sore throat that does not go away
• ear pain
• painful swallowing
• unexplained weight loss

Dentists are often among the first to spot concerns, which is one more reason routine dental care and good oral health matter.

If you notice persistent symptoms, talk with your dentist or healthcare provider. Early attention can make a difference.
