Dear friend,
As Menβs Health Month kicks off this month, itβs important that we shine a light on male reproductive health issues for childhood cancer survivors. Learn why boys who are at risk should have a yearly check-up.Β
We are filled with pride this month as we support the brave LGBTQ+ youth who face challenges while undergoing treatment for cancer and other serious illnesses. Read more about the health care journey for LGBTQ+ patients.Β
Also, make sure you take time for some mindfulness and relaxation Friday, June 21, which is International Day of Yoga. Find yoga poses that you can do with the young patient in your life.Β
Finally, we know financial woes are a common late effect of childhood and adolescent cancer. For survivors who may be facing financial burdens, we hope you find our tips for staying financially fit helpful. Remember, you are not alone.Β
With hope and unity,Β Β
