Screening is a critical part of preventative care! Screenings for many cancers catch pre-cancerous cells and very early stage cancers which makes for a much better outcome.

For more information about cervical cancer overall, visit www.cancer.org/cancer/types....
This image is teal with white writing. It reads “January is cervical cancer awareness month. Everyone with a cervix age 25-65 should have a regular cervical cancer screening regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or sexual activity. Cervical cancer is preventable. Talk to a doctor and visit Cancer.org/Get-Screened to learn more.” The American Cancer Society and Relay For Life logo is in the lower right corner. The lower left corner says “Relay For Life of Midland County.”

Alcohol's been linked with at least eight different types of cancer and likely increases the risk of others. The ACS recommends no more than two drinks per day for men or one drink a day for women. One drink is:

-12 oz beer
-5 oz wine
-1.5 oz 80-proof liquor

More info at cancer.org
This image has the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life logos in the bottom left corner. It has six circles, three at the top and three at the bottom. The middle section says “Lower your cancer risk and participate in National Staying Healthy Month.” The first circle at the top says “Be safe in the sun.” The second circle at the top says “Eat healthy.” The third circle at the top says “Stay away from tobacco.” The first circle at the bottom says “Limit your alcohol consumption.”

This seems like a no-brainer, but staying away from tobacco products is a big cancer prevention measure!

If you are a tobacco user, there is no better day than today to start the process of quitting.

For info and all sorts of resources (and help for quitting), visit www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-...

We gathered cancer advocates nationwide to share their hope for the future of cancer cures. These hopes can become a reality via #CancerResearch.

That’s why we need Congress to act. Send a message urging them to prioritize lifesaving cancer research in the spending bill: go.fightcancer.org/4qqhK7W

It’s time to learn a bit more about fire fighters and cancer!
This image has a female firefighter in the lower right corner holding a hose. The image reads “January is Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month. What should you know about fire fighters and cancer? Fact #2: The number-one cause of cancer among fire fighters is not from the fire itself, but from occupational exposures to the toxins and carcinogens at the fire scene and exposure to diesel exhaust.” In the lower right corner are the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life logos.

January is a lot of things, including cervical cancer awareness month. One of the best ways to protect yourself/your children is to get the HPV vaccine!

You can find more information about it at www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-...
This image is teal with white writing. It reads “January is cervical cancer awareness month. Did you know? 90% of cervical cancers can be prevented with the HPV vaccine and regular screening. HPV vaccines help prevent cancers, and regular screening tests can find cervical cancer early, and treat pre-cancers before they turn into cancer.” The American Cancer Society and Relay For Life logo is in the lower right corner. The lower left corner says “Relay For Life of Midland County.”

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

While the GOP is turning a blind eye to what’s in the Constitution, can we go in and fix the 2nd Amendment real quick?
