One of the dear patients of the Lancaster Cancer Center Ltd., Mark Hite, made a generous donation to our Foundation earlier this summer. Both the painting and dedication will soon be proudly displayed in the LCC office as a testament to Mark and his kindness. A big thanks to Mark and his family for their generosity!

It's official: National Cancer Survivor Month is in full swing!
As cancer treatments advance and survivors live longer, the survivorship community is growing rapidly. It is really amazing.

We are happy to walk alongside our survivors, both those still in treatment and those who have "graduated," to support you in your health journey 💜

Holistic health and lifestyle behaviors (nutrition, exercise, rest, meditation...) can be very helpful in cancer prevention and treatment, but cannot cure cancer by themselves. Check out the story of Cherie Rineker: someone whose life was saved by the same conventional medicine she previously shunned. Now, as a multiple myeloma survivor, she advocates for myeloma treatment research!
Thank you, Patient Power - a Cancer Community, for sharing this story.

Myeloma patient and author Cherie Rineker shares how her perspective shifted from holistic care to becoming a myeloma treatment research advocate. Watch to learn why.

Oral Cancer, also known as Head and Neck Cancer, is our focus today as part of cancer awareness for the month of April.

Two major risk factors for Oral Cancer are to***co and alcohol use.

For prevention, it is best to:
- Stop using any to***co products 🚭 (ci**rs, ci******es, e-ci******es, chew/dip/snuff, etc.)
- Limit alcoholic drinks to 1 per day for women and 2 per day for men.

However, if you want to further decrease your risk, research suggests that a diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help, especially those rich in carotenoids (a type of nutrient found in some plants).

See the pic below to discover what foods contain this cancer-fighting phytonutrient 🍅🥗🌽🍉🍠🥕
Good news: there's a bunch!
