Luminaries: Cancer Survivorship

09/16/2026

What does “cancer survivorship” mean to you?

Is it ringing the bell?
Finishing treatment?
Getting back to everyday life?
Learning to live with what cancer changed?
Or simply waking up each morning and moving forward?

There isn't one definition of survivorship. What's yours? ❤️

Five years ago, Luminaries began with a simple idea: Cancer survivors shouldn't have to figure out what comes next all by themselves.

What started with Laura Hendricks' own experience as a cancer survivor has grown into a community providing wellness kits, resources, education and encouragement to survivors across the country.

Five years. Thousands of survivors. And so much more work to do.

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped Luminaries get here, and we're excited about where we're going next. ❤️

Did you know that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month? It's also the awareness month for leukemia & lymphoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer and gynecologic cancers.

Different diagnoses. Different journeys. But one thing connects them all: SURVIVORSHIP MATTERS.

At Luminaries, we believe support shouldn’t stop when treatment ends. Survivors deserve tools, encouragement and practical wellness support as they move forward. Because surviving cancer is just the beginning of a new chapter.

Survivorship isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about rebuilding your potential step-by-step. Our curated practices focus on the building blocks of everyday wellness like Sleep, Fuel, and Focus.

Luminaries has developed relationships with quality vendors and products who give back to Luminaries to help support us. Please help support them also.

August is World Cancer Support Month.

As we know, cancer changes so much, but support can change the journey. A caring voice, a helping hand, a moment of encouragement, or simply knowing someone is there can mean more than we realize.

This World Cancer Support Month, take a moment to reach out, lift someone up, and remind someone facing cancer that they are not alone. Sometimes, simply being there can make all the difference.

💛 Strength Doesn't Have an Expiration Date 💛
Did you know singer Carly Simon is a breast cancer survivor, diagnosed back in 1997? This week, she shared why she's stepped back from public life: she's living with Parkinson's disease and was also treated for skin cancer.

Her honesty is a gift. She didn't sugarcoat the hard days, but she also reminded us that survivorship isn't a straight line. It's ongoing, layered, and deeply human.
