Tomorrow will be 11 years since the end of Joanne’s battle with gyn cancer.... ❤️😢

"We have seen early signals that our vaccines have a very positive impact on disease. We are building on that foundation."

So very happy.....yet so very sad (only wish this was around 10 years ago when Joanne was fighting her GYN cancer battle)....

Sexual Health Awareness Week was celebrated last month and, along with raising awareness about STI tests and getting to know your body, campaigns aimed to tackle the taboo and fear surrounding smear tests. Now, scientists have reported that a…

Hospice care means helping you LIVE YOUR LIFE rather than focus on death. Patients and families often experience emotional, psychosocial, financial, or spiritual pain and anxiety. Hospice care includes social workers, spiritual care providers and other professionals to help patients and families talk about their fears, anger and grief and alleviate emotional and spiritual pain. The focus of care is on improving quality of life and asking the patient what he or she desires during this last stage of life. www.asanahospice.com

How amazing would this be?????

Israeli scientists claim they may have finally found the cure for cancer and it will be available within a year.

Wish it could be eliminated all together....

Although that is good news, cancer is the second-most common cause of death in the U.S., with more than 1.7 million new cancer cases each year and more than 600,000 cancer deaths. The report notes that one of the biggest factors in decreased cancer rates are lower to***co smoking rates.

Scientists have taken a giant step towards curing cancer, according to a new study.

14/06/2018

The FDA approved bevacizumab for use with chemotherapy, followed by bevacizumab as a single agent, for the treatment of women with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent initial surgical resection. Bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech) is now approved for 10 indications in the United States. These include...

Those closest to us may be gone, but they are never forgotten! Who do you think of and miss every day? Let's take a moment to honor and remember our loved ones who've passed on from this life. 🌼🌻
Thank you to our friends for sharing this.

True.... ❤️😥

We can defeat this, whatever you're going through. WE fighters have more power than cancer does!

How great would this be????

A personalized cancer vaccine lengthened the lives of patients with ovarian cancer, a small clinical trial demonstrated.

Wow.... an incredible painting.... it’s called “First Day in Heaven” 😥

07/03/2018

It’s called CancerSEEK....... could you imagine the countless lives that could be saved from early detection? A dream come true..... I hope!!!!

Overall, the test identified 70 percent of the cancers correctly.

Some things just really suck when you see them.... a sister and a mom.... continue to focus on positive things. We will be in Harrisburg on April 17th for Joanne’s Law. I’ll be ready. ❤️

13/02/2018

I can remember every minute, every detail, like it was only yesterday. Etched into our memories, 9 years ago today. We will never forget her and we’re hoping she’ll be remembered helping dozens of people after us.... now to just get that legislation passed.

Joanne’s good word to the Big Guy worked...the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Wish you were here with us to see it, Jo!!!!

03/02/2018

Sure wish Joanne was here to see her beloved Philadelphia Eagles going to the Super Bowl....my daughter keeps saying that she still hears Aunt Jo singing the Eagles fight song in her head... Maybe Joanne can put in a good word for them up there. :) Have a safe day tomorrow, everyone...

I'm hoping sooner than later!

This blood test detected signs of cancer in 70 percent of people with eight common forms of the disease. But it was much less good at identifying cancer in people in the early stages.

So true......

Love this...
