Early detection is not only key but also available for changing outcomes, preventing families from being blindsided by advanced diagnoses. Cancer risk assessment tools can make all the difference in a prognosis. Our mission is to ensure that everyone has access to life-saving tests and resources, like those we sought for Joan. The critical resource we lacked was early detection, and by the time Joan was diagnosed, we were advised to proceed directly to palliative care. Instead, we used the available resources to extend her life, turning a death sentence into cherished time. Even in cases of late detection, our programs aim to provide hope and guidance, improving survival rates and empowering families to face these challenges with greater strength and resilience.
