Believe Cancer Foundation

Believe Cancer Foundation At Believe Cancer Foundation we provide awareness, education and support to patients and their families before, during, and after treatment.

Believe Cancer Foundation was founded by Nelcy Baltz, a breast cancer survivor dedicated to supporting cancer patients and their caregivers. We offer:

💙 Virtual Emotional Support Groups for All Types of Cancer

A safe, welcoming space for patients and caregivers to connect, share experiences, and find comfort on their journey. Incorporates hope-filled activities like vision boards, crafts, and me

aningful discussions to inspire and uplift. Virtual support groups meet on Zoom every Monday from 7:00-8:00 PM. o Spanish Sessions: 1st & 3rd Monday of the month
o English Sessions: 2nd & 4th Monday of the month

Open to new members anytime – an ongoing 8-week rotating format.

🪑 Providing Free Essential Comfort Items for Cancer Patients that Insurance Doesn't Cover

We believe that small comforts make a huge difference in a patient's journey. Thanks to generous donations and fundraising efforts, we provide free essential comfort items to qualified cancer patients like mastectomy pillows and other comfort items. We also have a Medical recliner loan program where patients borrow a recliner during treatment, and once they recover, it is passed on to another patient in need. Many essential comfort items are not covered by insurance, so we rely on fundraising and donations—both direct product donations and monetary contributions—to provide them at no cost to patients. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we can provide documentation for tax-deductible donations. We raise funds through Monthly fundraising workshops open to the public, offering valuable, life-enhancing topics. 100% of proceeds from these workshops go directly toward purchasing and donating comfort items for cancer patients. We also rely on direct purchases and private donations. Together, we bring comfort, support, and hope to those fighting cancer.

🪑 Provisión Gratuita de Artículos Esenciales de Confort que el Seguro No Cubre

Creemos que los pequeños detalles marcan una gran diferencia en la recuperación de un paciente. Gracias a donaciones y esfuerzos de recaudación de fondos, proporcionamos artículos de confort gratuitos a pacientes calificados, como almohadas post-mastectomía y otros productos esenciales. También ofrecemos un programa de préstamo de sillones médicos, permitiendo que los pacientes utilicen un sillón reclinable durante su tratamiento y, una vez recuperados, lo pasen a otro paciente en necesidad.

💛 Financiamiento a través de Donaciones y Recaudación de Fondos

Muchos artículos esenciales de confort no están cubiertos por el seguro, por lo que dependemos de donaciones monetarias y de productos para entregarlos sin costo a los pacientes. Como una organización sin fines de lucro 501(c)(3), podemos proporcionar documentación para donaciones deducibles de impuestos.

📢 Recaudamos fondos a través de:

- Talleres mensuales abiertos al público, con temas valiosos para mejorar la calidad de vida.
- 100% de los ingresos de estos talleres se destinan directamente a la compra y donación de artículos de confort para pacientes con cáncer.
- Compras directas y donaciones privadas.

💙 Juntos, brindamos consuelo, apoyo y esperanza a quienes luchan contra el cáncer.

In 2010, actor Michael Douglas was diagnosed with stage IV-A throat (oropharyngeal) cancer, which he later shared was linked to the human papillomavirus (HPV). The diagnosis was serious and life-altering.

After undergoing intensive chemotherapy and radiation, he was declared cancer-free in 2011 and has remained in remission since. Douglas has been open about his journey, using his platform to raise awareness about HPV-related cancers and the importance of education, prevention, and early detection.

His story is a powerful reminder that a cancer diagnosis is not the end of the story—and that awareness can save lives.

Early detection saves lives.

Keeping up with routine screenings can help catch cancer earlier, when treatment options are often more effective and outcomes are better. Paying attention to your body and staying on schedule with recommended checkups is one of the most important steps you can take for your health.

Don’t wait. Stay proactive. Your life is worth it.

💪 Movement matters more than you may realize.

Regular physical activity has been shown to help lower the risk of several types of cancer, including breast, colon, and endometrial cancers. Exercise helps regulate hormones, reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system, and support healthy digestion—all of which play a role in cancer prevention.

The good news? It doesn’t have to be intense or complicated. Walking, stretching, dancing, swimming, or gentle strength training all count.

This isn’t about perfection or pressure. It’s about giving your body regular movement as an act of care.

Small steps add up—and consistency matters more than intensity.

Hablemos de la QUIMIOTERAPIA BLANCA 🧬🤍

Muchas personas le llaman así por el color del medicamento.

💉 ¿Cuál es su nombre?

La “quimio blanca” casi siempre se refiere a:
1️⃣ Paclitaxel
2️⃣ Docetaxel

🧬 ¿Cómo trabaja?

Bloquea la división de las células cancerosas. Evita que el tumor siga creciendo. “Paraliza” las células cuando intentan multiplicarse.

👉 En simple: no deja que el cáncer se siga reproduciendo.

⚠️ Efectos secundarios más importantes...

🦶 Neuropatía (muy común)
• Hormigueo en manos y pies.
• Adormecimiento.
• Sensación de corriente o quemazón.

🩸 Cambios en la sangre:
• Bajada de defensas
• Anemia
• Mayor riesgo de infecciones

🧍‍♀️ Generales:
• Cansancio fuerte
• Caída del cabello
• Dolor muscular
• Cambios en uñas

💡 Algo clave:
• Es muy usada en cáncer de mama.
• Puede ser muy efectiva.
• Los médicos vigilan mucho los nervios (neuropatía) porque puede empeorar si no se controla.

❤️ Valentine’s Day weekend is a reminder of what truly matters.

Love shows up in so many ways—through connection, kindness, support, and simply being there for one another. It’s what carries us through hard seasons and makes the good ones even sweeter.

February is also Heart Health Month, a time to remember that caring for our hearts—emotionally and physically—starts with love. Love for ourselves, love for our families, and love for the communities that support us.

This weekend, take a moment to show love freely. Say it. Share it. Feel it.

Because love is powerful—and it always matters.

Chemotherapy can bring painful side effects like neuropathy in the hands and feet. Through our Believe Shop, you can help ease that discomfort in a very tangible way.

Our Cold Therapy Socks & Hand Ice Pack Chemo Care Package is designed to provide cooling relief for cancer warriors during treatment. When you purchase this item, it’s donated directly to Believe Cancer Foundation, so we can place it in the hands of someone who truly needs it.

Because sometimes, the smallest comforts mean everything.
