This August, we celebrate World Cancer Support Month. 🌍❤️

At Carolina BioOncology Institute, we believe cancer care is about more than treating a diagnosis — it’s about caring for the whole person.

Every patient who walks through our doors becomes part of our family. From compassionate support and personalized care to access to innovative clinical trials, we’re here to walk alongside our patients and their loved ones through every step of their journey. 🤝

Clinical trials can offer patients access to promising new treatments while helping advance the future of cancer care. But behind every trial and every treatment is a team that listens, supports, and truly cares.

Because no one should have to face cancer alone. We’re proud to stand beside our patients, their families, and our community — today, throughout treatment, and every step along the way. ❤️

Take a Moment to Just Breathe 🤍
When you’re navigating a cancer diagnosis or going through treatment, it can feel like your mind is constantly racing. The endless influx of information, appointments, and what-ifs can create a storm of stress that feels impossible to quiet.

We know that a deep breath won’t change your diagnosis and it won't make the challenges of treatment magically disappear. But while we can't pause the world around you, we can help you find a small anchor right where you are.

This simple breathing exercise is just a tool to help you slow down your thoughts, even if only for a single minute. It’s a quiet space to step away from the noise, ground your body, and offer yourself a little bit of grace.

Did you know that sarcoma and bone cancer are often called the "forgotten cancer"? Because it makes up less than 1% of all adult cancer diagnoses, awareness and funding are critically low.
Only 18,000 cases of sarcoma are diagnosed every year in the US. Half of all occur before the age of 40.

As a specialized clinical trial clinic, we see the resilience of patients facing these rare bone and soft tissue tumors. We also see the promises of tomorrow’s treatments. Clinical trials aren't just a last resort; they are the frontier of medical discovery, offering early access to innovative therapies that are rewriting the future of cancer care.

Hope lives in research. Together, we can turn awareness into action and action into cures.💛

Early this year we welcomed two outstanding Physician Assistants to the Carolina BioOncology Institute team, and we couldn't be happier to have them with us! 💙 Please join us in celebrating Sydney Noldin, PA-C, and Carson Kirby, PA-C as they reach their six-month milestone with CBOI. 🎗

Both graduated from PA school at the end of last year and have already made a meaningful impact on our cancer patients and our team. Carson first joined CBOI as a PA student during her clinical rotations before accepting a full-time position. Sydney began her journey with us as a Clinical Research Coordinator and returned after graduation to continue caring for our patients as a Physician Assistant.

We're incredibly grateful for their compassion and the dedication they bring to our clinic every day. Thank you, Sydney and Carson, for everything you do, we're excited to see all you'll accomplish in the years ahead!

Help us congratulate them in the comments! 🎉
