At just 30 years old, Steven was diagnosed with cancer. He soon found a @NIH-supported study increased survival rates for patients with his type of leukemia. It saved his life. Increased #CancerResearch funding is vital to saving more lives like Steven's. https://t.co/bqJnbvRRRT

An alarming trend is surfacing: the re-glamorization of tobacco use, driven by the tobacco industry.
Research shows that media exposure to smoking imagery among young people makes them more likely to start using tobacco products like cigarettes and e-cigarettes.
.@CMSGov's rule on #Medicaid work requirements makes it more difficult for people who are medically frail, including #CancerPatients, to be exempt. This adds a burdensome process and risks the loss of health insurance coverage—a matter of life or death. https://t.co/Ne6wanhsqL
ACS CAN volunteers showed their support for increased #CancerResearch funding for @NIH and @theNCI at the Senate LHHS hearing.
They even received shoutouts from @SenKatieBritt, @SenHydeSmith, & @SenCapito!

Thank you @RepDWStweets, @RepBrianFitz, @RepDeSaulnier, and @RepJoeWilson for re-introducing the Comprehensive Cancer Survivorship Act. This bill would address gaps in survivorship care to improve quality of care and navigation needs for #CancerSurvivors. https://t.co/g4jnGJcC10
Today, only a fraction of new ideas for how to prevent, treat, and cure cancer are getting the funding they need to move forward.

Honored to receive the ACS CAN Legislative Champion Award for my work on Mississippi’s biomarker testing bill, “Jill’s Law.”
