July is #UVSafetyMonth! According to the American Academy of Dermatology (@aadmember), UV is the root cause of most skin cancers. We encourage you to follow the ADD`s tips to #PracticeSafeSun and protect your skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation while outdoors.
Over the last several decades, medical and scientific advances have led to the development of new therapies for blood cancer – therapies that have helped improve the five-year survival rate from about 15-20 percent to 50-70 percent, depending on the type of blood cancer. However, not every patient can access these new therapies. Not because their doctors don’t offer them but because they are out of reach financially, especially for patients experiencing medical debt. For other patients, receiving lifesaving treatments can cost them dearly, leading to major financial setbacks that affect their lives – and their families’ lives – for years.
