Diagnosed with cervical cancer at age 25, Tamika was grateful for her medical care & support. What she didn't have was someone she could relate to - so she created that community. Watch Tamika's video & read her story at cancercontrol.cancer.gov/ocs/resources/…. #NationalCancerSurvivorsMonth

Everyone has a health story, and sharing it with researchers may lead to discoveries that can help others in the future. Listen to Kari's story of surviving cancer, which she shares to show the importance of participating in programs like All of Us. 💟 #CelebrateLife
