The American Cancer Society estimates that about 158,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2026. But there is good news. With screening, colorectal cancer is highly preventable.

We are so thankful for Amy sharing her story and highlighting how our Survivorship School is committed to helping participants focus on mind-body medicine, self-care techniques and ways to reduce lingering symptoms from treatment while regaining a sense of control and well-being.

💕 🎗 Healing doesn’t stop when treatment ends. After Amanda Van de Riet underwent surgery and radiation to beat breast cancer, she found herself asking, 'What's next?'

Here is why it's important...

- When detected early, the 5-year survival rate is 99%
- Many women between 30 and 50 are not getting screened regularly

What you can do today...

- Schedule your annual mammogram (starting at age 40 or earlier if you have risk factors)
- Learn how to do monthly self-exams
- Talk to your provider about your family history

We are incredibly grateful to Hayley for sharing her powerful story…

Following her treatment journey, Hayley is determined to help others - especially young breast cancer patients - navigate the difficult transition from treatment to survivorship. She shares her story openly to let others know they are not alone.

“A cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence,” she said. “There are resources and people who can help you live a full, healthy life after cancer. I want every patient to know that.” Arnold remains deeply grateful to the FirstHealth Cancer Center team. “They cared for me like family, and the survivorship program gave me the tools and support I desperately needed to move forward.”
