💜 October is Liver Cancer Awareness Month💜

The liver performs over 500 vital functions every single day to keep us alive — from cleansing blood to storing vitamins. Yet, liver cancer often develops silently in a damaged liver, with no symptoms in the early stages.

A clear diagnosis is the first step toward better care. 💚
With simple blood tests for AMA and ALP, doctors can confirm Primary Biliary Cholangitis early — no biopsy needed in most cases.
Early detection means stronger treatment, brighter tomorrows, and more hope for patients worldwide.
