Dan Tukey was diagnosed with rectal cancer following a preventative screening, but thanks to a #StandUpToCancer-funded clinical trial he is now cancer free. ❤️ “Early detection saves lives and improves treatment outcomes – that's why it’s never too early to discuss screening with your doctor, especially if you have a family history of cancer,” he shares.

When Kellie was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, her high school sweetheart and husband, Yaphet “wanted to do anything possible to help find a cure.” To contribute to research and give his family hope, Yaphet decided to participate in #StandUpToCancer’s clinical trial, THE PROMISE Study. Today, Kellie is cancer-free, and they continue to advocate for cancer research together. 💛 This #MultipleMyelomaAwarenessMonth, read their inspiring story at https://bit.ly/43A2X1B.

The most important test for colorectal cancer is the test that gets done. 🙌 While being treated for a stomach infection, Rosa Miguel received an at-home colorectal cancer test at her local clinic as part of the #StandUpToCancer Colorectal Cancer Health Equity Dream Team’s efforts. The team aims to raise awareness and increase colorectal cancer screenings, especially in communities with lower screening rates. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or are the age of 45 and older, talk to your doctor about screening and what options are available to you. #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth
