When Emily was diagnosed with a rare NUT carcinoma in 2019, she was told the average life expectancy was six to nine months. Genomic testing identified a treatment Emily is still using today, but she wasn't able to access it until her condition deteriorated.

Wishing a happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads in our community – those who are looking out for us on our hard days, and those who need some extra support themselves.

We’re striving to create a better world for rare – the time for talking is over, and it’s time for action. And when we address the inequities facing people diagnosed with rare or less common cancers, we’ll improve cancer outcomes for everyone. 📺 Watch: bit.ly/3Z7MS19

If someone you love is affected by cancer, take some time out today (or any day!) to check in with them and see how they’re really feeling. Your support could make all the difference. Learn more at: bit.ly/3XFzrEm #ruok
