FACT vs. FICTION FRIDAY

Blood cancers affect more than just the bloodstream.

They often involve the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced, and the lymphatic system, which plays a key role in immune function.

Understanding how these cancers develop helps improve awareness, diagnosis, and care.

Were you aware of how blood cancers impact the body?

World Health Day reminds us that health is not just about care. It’s about access.

At the Nicole Cares Foundation™, we advocate for equity in diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship because everyone deserves a fair chance to live and heal.

Many people think cancer only runs in families.In reality, most people diagnosed with blood cancer have no family history.

Awareness matters for everyone.

Have you ever thought your risk was low because of your family history?

Too often, symptoms are overlooked because people don’t believe they’re at risk.

Blood cancers like lymphoma can affect people at any age—and awareness matters.

Paying attention to changes in your body and seeking medical guidance when something feels off can make a difference.

Stay informed. Trust what you feel. Speak up.

Have you heard this myth before?

World Cancer Day is a reminder that progress happens when people are seen, heard, and supported at every stage of the journey.

Today, we stand for prevention, access, survivorship, and equity.
Because outcomes improve when communities show up together.

Today, we honor the life and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who believed in the power of service, education, and collective action. The MLK Day of Service is a reminder of the extraordinary needs of our communities, and how extraordinary we can be when we step up to help others.

The Nicole Cares Foundation is proud to stand with leading national cancer organizations in today’s Day of Action to protect affordable health care for survivors and families.

Today dozens of patient advocacy organizations come together to tell Congress: TIME IS RUNNING OUT. Health care costs are already too high and patients can’t afford more hikes. If health care tax credits aren’t extended by December 31, millions could lose their health insurance and costs will skyrocket for millions more.
