Day 5🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth A gut-wrenching reality of #ChildhoodCancer - Children with cancer have friends who die. They suffer and struggle to survive while they watch lives end. In what world do we NOT do all we can to end this? Overlooked/Underfunded 💔

Despite numerous clinical trials, outcomes of kids with #DIPG remain dismal, with a median survival of only 11 months, while only 10% of DIPG patients have ≥ 2-yr. overall survival (OS) rate @EndDIPG Tough2gether - Against DIPG #ChildhoodCancer Happy Quail CAC2 Ellyn Miller

Day 12🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancer survivors have a 15-fold increased risk of developing congestive heart failure🎗 ~ Children's Cancer Cause Treatments used to cure childhood cancer cause a multitude of serious #LateEffects 💔

Will always remember this amazing girl, Natasha Gould 💛 Speaking CureFest 2015

It is not unreasonable for #ChildhoodCancer survivors who were treated with chemo to begin mammograms between ages 25 to 30. Those who also got chest radiation may by on par with those who have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. Consult your physician. Happy Quail CAC2

Day 13💛 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth Over the past few years, #ChildhoodCancer foundations, families and advocates have seen achievements from their dedication. #STARAct #Race4ChildrenAct Thank you💛 Next- Gabriella Miller Kids First 2.0 S.1521🎗 congress.gov/bill/117th-con…

Day 14🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth I’ll never forget standing with the CT scan technician as our daughter’s chest scan image came up on the screen. It looked exactly like those dreaded images that turned me numb when I researched “abnormal chest X-Ray” #ChildhoodCancer 🎗

Please checkout #ChildhoodCancer legislation being considered today. If any of these bills do not pass this year, they will all go away, each one must be started all over again. Please get involved & speak up for children fighting cancer. 4sqclobberscancer.com/on-capital-hil… Happy Quail

Day 15🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth If you ever get a chance to see this #ChildhoodCancer Angels quilt in person, be sure to have supplies. 🎗A chair beside you to prevent falling over when you have no breath 🎗A size large box of tissues to mop up rivers of tears

Day 18🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth In the United States, 47 children are diagnosed with #ChildhoodCancer every day. It’s the #1 disease killing our children. These children need more💛 More funding🎗 More research🎗 More voices🎗 More cures🎗

Day 19🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth If we could see their faces... Know their names... Hear their sweet voices... Hold their small hands... Then #ChildhoodCancer would become a National Priority, because our hearts would allow nothing less. Pretend we can💛 #LetsDoThis

Day 20🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth When sick children need to take to the streets with signs requesting help, it’s a clear “sign” that society is failing them. “Help us. We are the future.” 💛 #ChildhoodCancer 🎗

I certainly hope #ChildhoodCancer's are included in the EARLY testing of noninvasive screening. We do not want to wait until after all the adult cancers are completed. Happy Quail Lisa Ward Nancy Goodman Ellyn Miller Lisa (Loehr)Spaulding @jonathanagin Judy Fulmer

Day 21🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth There’s a neighborhood with large homes & fine trimmed yards that puts up purple bows every September for prostate awareness month. That’s great! But, what about kids? Their color is GOLD🎗 Because children are more precious than gold💛

“Less toxic treatments” For #ChildhoodCancer Yes, please!🎗 Treatments that heal and don’t harm. Treatments that don’t cause #LateEffects Treatments developed specifically for kids. Right, Joe? Joe Baber 🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Day 23🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancer is not just one disease. There are over 12 major types and more than 100 subtypes. Diagnosis rates are on the increase. Children need all hands on deck to stop it. They need our hands🎗 They need our hearts.💛
