Appendix Cancer Awareness Month
Appendix cancer, also known as appendiceal cancer, is a rare type of cancer that develops when healthy cells in the appendix mutate and grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. It is often discovered during surgery for appendicitis or through imaging tests for unrelated conditions. There are different types of appendix cancer, including epithelial appendiceal cancer and neuroendocrine appendiceal cancer, each behaving differently; some may grow slowly and remain in the appendix for years. The incidence of appendix cancer has reportedly increased, particularly among individuals born between 1981 and 1989. Treatment options typically depend on the type and stage of cancer and may include surgery, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies

Healing and HelpingThe recovery process is a journey to whole healing. Hair loss is a hurdle that many struggle with and need help to jump over. Our organization will provide custom wigs and other options due to hair loss and provide supplies for the side effects from chemotherapy and other cancer treatments. We will also provide access to post-surgical garments, mastectomy garments, prosthetics, and port supplies. We will assist you with finding insurance coverage for needed items and supplies, finding assistance with deductibles and free cancer screening programs. Our goal is to promote and increase cancer awareness in communities.
