Thank you Representative @rosadelauro for elevating #cancer issues in the FY26 appropriations bill. Cancer advocates in Connecticut are grateful for your bipartisan commitment to the fight against cancer!

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

Thank you, @rosadelauro, for elevating cancer issues in this package to ensure patients, survivors, and families benefit from advances in #CancerResearch, prevention, detection, and treatment.

We're helping @acscan support lifesaving cancer research and prevention funding for cancer patients, survivors, and families. @SenBlumenthal, we need your help to pass a full-year spending bill that does this. Time is running out to #ProtectCancerCures.

[ACS CAN Connecticut @ACSCANCT]

Cancer research saves lives, and the fight against cancer can't wait. @ChrisMurphyCT , please pass a full-year spending bill NOW to protect and increase funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention. Advocates with @acscan need you to #ProtectCancerCures.

Take a look at the huge bipartisan support for early cancer detection! @RepJoeCourtney, can I count on you to join & cosponsor the #MCEDAct? This
critical bill would allow Medicare to cover MCED tests once FDA approved & clinical benefit is shown. https://t.co/Encac6Nxno
