Megan-Claire J. Chase, Director of Health Impact and Strategic Partnerships at SHARE Cancer Support, shared on LinkedIn:
“Guess who appeared on Atlanta and Company TV show yesterday to amplify Blood Cancer Awareness Month! Yep, it was ME!
I’m honored that Blood Cancer United trusted me to be a spokesperson on the show. I had the opportunity to share a part of my cancer experience that doesn’t always get the spotlight: being a caregiver.
I know what it’s like to hear the words ‘you have cancer.’ But I also know what it’s like to be the daughter of a mother living with a rare blood cancer. Being on the caregiver side of cancer has opened my eyes to an entirely different kind of fear, strength, exhaustion, advocacy, and love.
That’s why bringing more awareness to ALL blood cancers is so important to me. It’s also why I want patients and caregivers to know they don’t have to navigate this maze without support. Blood Cancer United offers fantastic resources and supportive services for patients and the people who love and care for them.
We talked about my experience as a cancer survivor, the importance of blood cancer awareness, AND the event Light The Night on October 3rd at Piedmont Park. This annual event is a chance for survivors, caregivers, family, friends, chosen family, and advocates to come together as a community.
A lot of people think I only know about breast cancer. Nope! I can speak about many types of cancers. Please don’t pigeon hole me. I am more than my cancer.
Head on over to blood cancer united.org to learn more and join us on October 3rd!”
