August is World Cancer Support Month. This month, we recognize the many forms of support that make a difference for those impacted by cancer - from medical care and resources to emotional support, meaningful connections, and peer relationships.

We’re proud to help create a community where individuals impacted by cancer can connect, share experiences, and find support from others who understand 🩵 🤍

The HPV vaccine is one of the greatest advances in cancer prevention. It protects against the HPV types responsible for causing most HPV-related cancers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), routine HPV vaccination is recommended for all boys and girls at ages 11 and 12. However, vaccination can begin as early as age 9. The vaccine works best when given before exposure to HPV, allowing the immune system to develop strong protection before the virus is encountered.

OPINION: HPV vaccination is cancer prevention. My story is why I believe it Cancer prevention is personal to me. In 2018, at the age of 38, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My cervical cancer developed after a high-risk HPV infection remained in

📚 This National Immunization Awareness Month, Cervivor and the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) are reminding families that cancer prevention starts before the school year begins.
The HPV vaccine is safe, effective, and recommended at ages 11–12 (or as early as 9). It prevents cervical cancer and five other HPV‑related cancers.
Talk with your child's healthcare provider today — and help protect them from cancer tomorrow.

The science is clear. The challenge is building trust.

As National Immunization Awareness Month highlights the lifesaving power of vaccines, Cervivor is exploring why the HPV vaccine — one of the most effective cancer prevention tools ever developed — still faces misinformation and hesitancy nearly 20 years after its introduction.

In our latest newsletter, HPV cancer survivors, physicians, and public health leaders share practical strategies for building trust, addressing misinformation with compassion, and protecting the progress we've made in preventing HPV-related cancers.

Reflecting on her cervical cancer diagnosis 25 years ago — before an HPV vaccine was available — Cervivor Founder and Chief Visionary Tamika Felder says: "Protecting that progress means making sure families have access to accurate information, trusted guidance, and the confidence to choose prevention."

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Geeta Nayyar, MD, MBA, Dr. Michelle Fiscus, MD FAAP, Calvin Nokes, and Athena Porter for sharing their expertise and lived experience.

This month we are going to activate and boost our dopamine.

Dopamine is a chemical messenger, neurotransmitter, and hormone made in your brain that plays a vital role in how you feel pleasure, motivation, and movement. Often called the "feel-good" molecule, it helps nerve cells talk to each other and drives reward-seeking behavior.

Each day we are giving you an idea of what to do so you can tap on that "feel good" hormone.

Let's do this, and make this 8th month of the year a "feel good" month.

Who's in? Let us know in the comments. 🙋‍♀️
