Congress just passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill in years, thanks to advocates like you!

Your advocacy made a difference. This bill means more people can be screened for #cancer earlier, get treatment sooner, and have a better chance to survive & thrive. Thank you ❤️

[ACSCAN Massachusetts @ACSCANMA]

The U.S. House of Representatives just voted YES on the year-end spending bill!

Thank you, @RepRichardNeal, for supporting the #MCEDAct and cancer issues to ensure patients, survivors, and families benefit from advances in #CancerResearch, prevention, detection, and treatment.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The House is expected to vote on a spending bill this week that brings us closer to new treatments, earlier detection & more lives saved from cancer. But only if lawmakers follow through.

Send a message to your lawmaker now urging them to pass this bill ⬇️https://t.co/xhpDJg8C10

Thank you @WhipKClark for voting to extend health care #TaxCredits & prioritizing the health & wellbeing of your constituents, including cancer patients. We're grateful you signed the #CancerPromise in 2024 & honored your pledge to make cancer a national priority.

Today we mourn the loss of Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante of Gloucester, MA who lost her battle against pancreatic cancer. This week was one to celebrate the advancement of a bill she cosponsored, AN ACT TO REDUCE INCIDENCE AND DEATH FROM PANCREATIC CANCER (H.2432). Now we give thanks for her life and her tireless service to the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. May God rest her soul and bless her family & friends. #mapoli @PanCANBoston @ACSCANMA @PanCAN @ACSCANMA @letswinpc

[Brock N. Cordeiro @BNCordeiro]

THIS is why Massachusetts must pass AN ACT TO REDUCE INCIDENCE AND DEATH FROM PANCREATIC CANCER (H.2432/S.1484).

Pancreatic cancer is already the second deadliest cancer in the Commonwealth!

This is a literal matter of life & death, we cannot delay action!

The Joint Committee on Public Health & House Committee on Health Care Financing have taken favorable action, now we must turn hope into reality.
