Lift your Voice to Help Beat CRC – Healthful Stories
Dear Colon and Rectal Cancer Expert:
On behalf of our nonprofit, Healthful Stories, we are Lifting the Voices of 150 CRC Patients for our Fall 2024 campaign to inform, empower, and inspire those facing colon and rectal cancer. We believe that by sharing stories from patients, for each other, we can alleviate the uncertainty and hardship that comes from their diagnosis and journey through treatment. If you know of patients willing to lend their voice to serve as a source of information and inspiration for others, please have them sign up via the link below.
Sign Up for a Professional Interview to Advocate for CRC Screening and Faster Cures
Separately, in late November and early December, we are conducting a limited series of 30-minute interviews with CRC clinical experts to offer a clear, patient-friendly perspective on the state of CRC treatments, key advancements, remaining clinical unmet needs, and future innovations. These interviews will create an objective resource to complement our CRC Voices initiative and will be promoted via our social media and partner channels for maximum impact and reach for patients and their families.
We hope that you will consider lending your valuable perspective to this initiative in support of patients and their families. In recognition of your time, we are offering a $300 honorarium for the 30-minute interview. If you prefer, we can also provide a receipt for a donation to Healthful Stories or to another charity of your choice. If your are interested in setting up an interview to support patients and their families, please send an email to [email protected].
We would value your insights—not specific medical advice—on CRC management in a brief conversation. Here are a few representative questions:
Early Stage Colon Cancer Treatments and Interventions
• “When working with patients newly diagnosed with early-stage colon cancer, how do you generally approach conversations around treatment options and what patients can expect?”
Early Stage Rectal Cancer Treatments and Interventions
• “In your experience, what kinds of support or guidance have patients found helpful as they navigate early- stage rectal cancer treatment?”
Advanced or Targeted Therapies for CRC
• “What advances in colorectal cancer treatment have you found most impactful over the past few years, and how have they influenced patient care?”
Emerging Treatment Possibilities
• “As new treatments continue to evolve, what do you feel is most important for patients to know about howthe field is changing?”
Your expertise can help us create a trusted resource for CRC patients as they navigate their care options. Please let us know if you’re open to a brief conversation, and we can schedule a time that best suits you.
Thank you for your dedication to improving the lives of those impacted by colorectal cancer.
With Sincere Appreciation,
Manny Duenas
