Aaron Rodriguez+FollowWhat NOT to Say to Someone With CancerEver wonder what to say when someone shares a cancer diagnosis? Turns out, a lot of well-meaning comments totally miss the mark. Avoid sharing scary stories, pushing toxic positivity (“just stay positive!”), or giving unsolicited advice. Instead, check in, listen, and let them lead the convo. Offer specific help (like a meal or a ride), and don’t ghost them if you’re unsure what to say—just be real. Sometimes, the best support is just showing up and letting them feel all the feels. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerSupport5320Share
Eddie Webster+FollowSan Antonio rides bring hope to cancer patientsGetting to cancer treatments shouldn’t be another battle, but for many in San Antonio, transportation is a real hurdle. Elizabeth Martinez, now cancer-free, found more than just a ride through the American Cancer Society’s Road To Recovery program—she found a friend and a lifeline. Volunteers like Edie don’t just drive; they show up, support, and become part of the journey. The need for volunteer drivers is bigger than ever in our city. Imagine the difference you could make just by offering a lift. Have you or someone you know experienced this kind of support? Let’s talk about how these small acts create big hope. #Safety #SanAntonio #CancerSupport00Share
Richard Jones+FollowCancer Survivors Turn Drivers for GoodDid you know cancer survivors are hitting the road to help others get to their treatments? The American Cancer Society’s “Road to Recovery” program lets volunteers drive patients to appointments—and it’s not just about the ride. Survivors like AnaMaria are sharing support, advice, and real talk with passengers like Donna, who’s going through chemo. If you’ve got a license and some free time, you can sign up to make a difference (and maybe make a new friend). #Safety #CancerSupport #RoadToRecovery291Share
GingerGnome+FollowIs There Another Way With Cancer?I've been thinking a lot about how cancer feels like a dead end for so many people. It just doesn't seem right that the only options are suffering or giving up. There has to be something else, right? Has anyone found alternative treatments or support that actually made a difference? I'd love to hear real stories or ideas. #CancerSupport #AlternativeHealing #Hope #Health #BodyHealth3614Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowHow a cancer survivor gives hope to othersImagine turning the toughest fight of your life into a mission to help others. That’s exactly what Katelyn Tillman did after surviving stage 4 bone cancer as a teen. Now a social worker, she guides patients through the maze of cancer treatment—helping with everything from insurance headaches to emotional support. Social workers and patient navigators are unsung heroes, connecting people to financial help, transportation, and even legal advice. Katelyn’s journey proves there’s life after diagnosis, and her story sparks a bigger question: How can we better support those facing serious illness in our own community? #Health #BodyHealth #CancerSupport2693Share
