Not all heroes wear capes; some hold hands and take care of people around them.
November is National Family Caregivers Month, and we want to take a minute to appreciate the hard work caregivers do mentally and physically.
Caregivers provide more than just their time—they give their hearts, often putting their own feelings aside to offer comfort and support. From lifting and preparing meals to running errands, caregivers carry a physical load that often feels endless, yet they keep going. They are planners, problem solvers, and advocates.
To every caregiver fighting the battles side by side with patients - THANK YOU! We see you and we appreciate you.

Even superheroes face real battles 💚
Mark Ruffalo, known for his role as Hulk in the Marvel Universe, was diagnosed with vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuromas) following a vivid dream he had in 2001, which he later described as surreal and prophetic. In the dream, he found himself in a hospital, feeling anxious about his health. This experience prompted him to seek medical advice, despite having initially dismissed his symptoms as stress-related.
The eventual diagnosis of a brain tumor came as a shock, but Ruffalo credits the dream with motivating him to take action before his condition worsened.
This story serves as a reminder of how often our body and mind send us warning signs that we frequently overlook. Being attentive to these signals can contribute to early detection, significantly impact treatment outcomes, and inspire others to seek help when something doesn’t feel right.

Key achievement of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan
The cancer diagnosis is always a heavy burden. Some choose to face it alone, while others prefer to share their journey with friends and family. Allen Chankowsky decided to handle his diagnosis differently by initially keeping it a secret from his parents until he had an exact treatment plan in place. This decision was significantly influenced by the fact that his brother had passed away three years before his cancer diagnosis.Allen witnessed how the loss of a son impacted both of his parents deeply, and he couldn't get along with the possibility of hurting them.
