You can be the reminder they need. 💬 We love our parents, but let’s be honest—sometimes they are the absolute worst at putting their own health first. They spent decades taking care of us, making sure we never missed a doctor's appointment, but when it comes to their own routine screenings? They always seem to "get around to it later." Later shouldn’t be a gamble. Sometimes, the best way to protect our moms, dads, and grandparents is to say the words they need to hear. A simple, loving nudge can be the exact push they need to stop procrastinating and make that phone call. Our "Screamin’ for Screenings" campaign is all about using our voices for the people we love. Regular check-ups, imaging, and early screenings catch changes long before symptoms appear—giving us more birthdays, more milestones, and more time together. Today, take 30 seconds to send that text or make that call: “Hey, mom, have you got your screenings this year?” It’s an easy conversation that could quite literally save their life. 🤍 🔗 Read the pinned comment to help them find the right screening guidelines. #KnowCancer #ScreaminForScreenings #EarlyDetection #FamilyHealth #AmericanCancerFund

We do everything in our power to protect the little ones in our lives. We hold their hands across the street, check their car seats, and worry about their futures. But sometimes, we forget that the most important way to protect them is to take care of ourselves. Putting off a routine medical check-up out of fear or a busy schedule is easy to do. But your health isn't just about you—it's about being there for every graduation, every birthday, and every quiet everyday moment still to come. Our "Screamin’ for Screenings" campaign is a loud reminder from the smallest voices in your family: Don’t let fear keep you from scheduling your routine screening. Preventive screenings, imaging, and regular check-ups are designed to catch changes early, giving you the upper hand and ultimate peace of mind. Taking an hour out of your day for a screening isn't selfish—it’s an act of love for the people who need you here the most. Listen to the little voices. Schedule your screening today. 🩺✨ 🔗 Read the pinned comment to find resources, guidelines, and learn more about our campaign. #KnowCancer #ScreaminForScreenings #CancerScreening #PublicHealth #AmericanCancerFund

The journey doesn’t end when treatment stops—it evolves. 🤍 Taking control of your post-treatment wellness starts with balancing your medical care with daily self-care.

Beat cancer? But what comes next? Entering the survivorship phase means transitioning out of survival mode and stepping into a chapter of intentional rebuilding. Your body has been through an incredible battle, and embracing a healthy lifestyle post-treatment isn't about rigid rules or extreme restrictions—it is about giving your body the gentlest, strongest foundation to truly thrive. Focusing on a balanced lifestyle helps lower chronic inflammation, combat long-term fatigue, and gives you back a powerful sense of control over your wellbeing. Take it one day, one meal, and one gentle step at a time. Your body protected you—now it’s your turn to nurture it back to full strength. 🔗 Read the pinned comment to explore our comprehensive survivor lifestyle guidelines. #KnowCancer #CancerSurvivor #LifeAfterCancer #Survivorship #AmericanCancerFund

Ringing the bell and closing the chapter on active cancer treatment is a massive victory. But for many survivors, the next big milestone—stepping back into the workplace—comes with an unexpected mix of excitement, anxiety, and overwhelm. Returning to a career is an emotional one. You are navigating an environment that stayed exactly the same, while you have fundamentally changed. Managing professional expectations while dealing with post-treatment fatigue, "chemo brain," or the emotional weight of your journey requires a deliberate strategy. Stepping back into your career is a powerful sign of reclaiming your life, but it is a marathon, not a sprint. Give yourself the grace, time, and patience to adjust to your new normal. 🔗 Read the pinned comment to access our comprehensive guide on navigating life and career as a survivor. #CancerSurvivor #ReturningToWork #LifeAfterCancer #Survivorship #WorkplaceWellness #CareerTransition #CancerSupport #AmericanCancerFund #knowcancer

You beat the disease. Now, you don’t have to carry the aftermath alone. 🫂 When cancer treatment ends, the world expects you to just step back into your old life. But for many survivors, returning to "normal" can feel like the loneliest part of the entire journey. Friends and family love you deeply, but unless they have heard those words themselves, they can't quite grasp the unique anxiety of a post-treatment ache, the weight of "scanxiety," or the complex emotions of survival. That is the power of a cancer survivor support group. In a dedicated community of peers, you don’t have to filter your thoughts or put on a brave face. It is a space designed for raw honesty, shared strength, and mutual understanding. Healing your mind and spirit takes a village. Connecting with fellow survivors isn’t a sign of vulnerability; it’s a vital tool for reclaiming your peace of mind and thriving in your next chapter. 🔗 Read the pinned comment to find community resources and support networks. #CancerSurvivor #SupportGroups #CancerSupport #Survivorship #MentalHealthMatters #LifeAfterCancer #CommunityHealing #knowcancer

Dr. Abhishek Shukla discussed conditions under which testicles are removed, with the most common reason in adults being prostate cancer. Since the testicles are the primary source of testosterone , the male hormone that can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer, removing them helps in slowing disease progression. This medical procedure is called orchiectomy, and it significantly reduces testosterone levels in the body. There are two types of orchiectomy: surgical and chemical. In surgical orchiectomy, the testicles are physically removed, while in chemical orchiectomy, medications like LHRH agonists are used to suppress testosterone production, both fall under Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT). Dr. Shukla also highlighted that while effective, this therapy comes with side effects such as loss of sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, hot flashes, and fatigue. He further explained a specific surgical method known as High Inguinal Orchiectomy (HIO), which is primarily done in cases of testicular cancer. In this procedure, the testicle is removed through an incision in the groin rather than the scrotum to avoid spreading cancer cells. If left untreated, cancers like prostate or testicular cancer can eventually spread to organs such as the liver, bladder, bones, and kidneys. For more information on cancer treatment and support, Dr. Shukla recommended visiting the National Comprehensive Cancer Welfare website: nccw.org. #AasthaCares #ProstateCancer #TesticularCancer #Orchiectomy #HighInguinalOrchiectomy #HormoneTherapy #MensHealthMatters #CancerAwareness #CancerTreatment #DrAbhishekShukla #AndrogenDeprivationTherapy #UrologyCare #KnowCancer
