The Need is Real, And You Can Help!
The need for awareness, support, and mobilization is urgent. Patients and caregivers continue to not receive the direction they need due to misinformation and a lack of awareness about cancer diagnoses and treatment options. Every day patients are being improperly diagnosed and treated, leading to unnecessary deaths and lowering the quality of life for many. Those patients often face delayed diagnoses - including cases that go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed - because symptoms are vague or misunderstood. Treatments like cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC can be lifesaving, but only if patients are diagnosed early and referred to specialists who understand their disease.​
