A cancer diagnosis can lead to emotional and mental health challenges for patients, survivors, and caregivers. If you are concerned about your mental health or that of a loved one, talk to your doctor or a social worker at your cancer center to find help. #MentalHealthMonth

While we know the "muggles" mean well, sometimes their advice includes toxic positivity or unproven treatments that can be hurtful. Looking to do something more helpful? Make a donation that supports #colorectalcancer patients, survivors, and caregivers at colontown.org/support/
