This May, during Bladder Cancer Awareness Month, it’s crucial to spotlight a startling fact: bladder cancer is the 7th most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, yet it remains shrouded in silence. Too many of us are unaware of its prevalence and the impact it has on thousands of lives each year. In raising our voices, we can break the silence around bladder cancer. Let’s spread the word, educate ourselves, and share this critical information with someone we love. Awareness is the first step toward change, and by informing others, we contribute to a future where early detection and support are readily available for everyone affected. #BladderCancerAwarenessMonth #BCAM #SpreadTheWord #AwarenessSavesLives Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network

Catherine was on a very tight budget and couldn't afford the copays for her medications, so she didn't get them. She was able to get samples when her doctor had some available, but she would only use them once a day instead of twice a day to make them last longer. Because she wasn't taking her meds properly, Catherine was getting sick often and coughing all the time. Her employer wasn't happy that she was sick so often. Catherine’s mom, who was on a fixed income, started paying for Catherine’s meds. Catherine hated that her mom was paying for her meds, but her mom insisted because she was worried about her daughter’s health and her job. Catherine was desperate to find a way to pay for her meds without her mom's help and searched the internet until she found HealthWell Foundation. “I got the approval letter while my mom was visiting, and we were both so excited! You've not only helped me, but you have also helped my mom. I can't say thank you enough!” Do you have a HealthWell story you'd like to share? We'd love to hear from you!
