Dear Friend,
We are only two weeks away from the Team Sally - 2015 No Stomach For Cancer Walk. I’m excited that there are more walkers than last year and many have started their fundraising. No Stomach For Cancer has provided me with lots of helpful information about the genetic components of my stomach cancer and has been invaluable to my family. The walk details are as follows.
Saturday, November 7th at: 9:00 a.m.
Route: 1.7 miles around the Orange reservoir in South Mountain Reservation
Meeting Point: Clipper Picnic Pavilion, Cherry Lane, West Orange
Directions & Parking: Across the street from the Clipper Pavilion/Swan Boat area on Orange Reservoir is the Oakdale Parking lot that is free. Enter on Cherry Lane, south of Northfield Avenue (route 508) and north of South Orange Avenue (route 510). The closest physical address, just north of the Swan's is McLoone's Boathouse, 9 Cherry Lane, West Orange, NJ 07052

FACTS AND NUMBERS:
(a) Stomach cancers are the fourth most common cancer types worldwide, and the second leading causes of cancer death in the world.
(b) It is estimated that there are 1 million new cases each year, and more than 800,000 deaths annually. There are over 20,000 cases in the USA each year and over 10,000 deaths.
(c) Recently, some types of stomach cancer have declined, while other types, which are more difficult to detect early and more deadly, are on the rise.
(d) Early stage stomach cancer rarely causes symptoms, making early detection very difficult.
(e) Lifestyle changes, such as smoking cessation and eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, can potentially reduce the risk of stomach cancer/all cancers.
(f) Getting tested and treatment for a common stomach bacteria known as H. pylori can decrease the risk of stomach cancer development.
(g) Know your family medical history and constantly update it. Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is an inherited cancer syndrome that leads to an increased risk for both diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer. Patients who inherit the genetic (CDH1) mutation for HDGC are at high risk for developing gastric cancer at a young age.
(h) In the US, stomach cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths. It receives little funding by the federal government, because despite being a leading cause of cancer deaths, it is considered rare.
