Our neighbors deserve health they can see and feel.
This becomes especially important for early detection screenings.
You know what cancer is, but have you thought about Sarcoma, or other bone cancers?
Do you know the early signs?
Skin cancer is easy to spot,
and most know how to recognize a stroke,
but what about what happens inside?
Sarcoma can form in bones, muscles, nerves, or fat.
They don’t care about age.
Many soft tissue sarcomas are diagnosed after 55,
but nearly 1 in 4 bone cancers hit before someone turns 20.
Need more information?
🟡 The 5-year survival rate for soft tissue sarcoma is just 66%.
🟡 Bone and joint cancers? About 68.5%.
🟡 But with early detection, supportive communities, and stronger treatments—those numbers can change.
Sarcomas grow silently.
The earlier they are found, the more treatment options exist.
And the better the survival rates.
Early signs may be a lump the size of a golf ball,
numbness or limited range of motion in limbs,
and unexplained pain and fractures, or more.
