Pancreatic cancer can be hard to detect early. 💜 Yellowing skin or eyes, unexplained weight loss, and belly or back pain can be warning signs. Notice something unusual? Talk to your doctor. #DesertCancerFoundation #PancreaticCancerAwareness #CoachellaValley

Screening can catch lung cancer before symptoms appear. 🫁 Low-dose CT screening may be right for those with a heavy smoking history. Ask your doctor. If cost is a barrier, Desert Cancer Foundation may help. #DesertCancerFoundation #LungCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection

Every $1 you give turns into more than $10 in cancer care. 🙌 Because we pay local providers directly, your gift stretches further than you might think. Desert Cancer Foundation is 100% donor funded, so none of this happens without you. #DesertCancerFoundation #GiveLocal

Purple is the color of hope this month. 💜 November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Pancreatic cancer is often found late, which is why awareness matters. We stand with every patient and family facing this diagnosis in our valley. #PancreaticCancerAwareness

9,050 neighbors. $121 million in cancer care. 🌟 Since 1994, Desert Cancer Foundation has helped Coachella Valley residents afford cancer care. Behind these numbers are moms, dads, grandparents, and friends. #DesertCancerFoundation #CommunityImpact #CoachellaValley

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. 🤍 Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. Early detection can save lives. If you smoke or used to, ask your doctor if screening is right for you. #DesertCancerFoundation #LungCancerAwareness #CoachellaValley

Since 2023, DCF has paid $1.1M toward $12M in total billings for cancer-related care. 🤍 That's what local giving can do when support goes directly to providers. #DesertCancerFoundation #OurImpact #GiveWhereYouLive

DCF pays medical providers directly on behalf of patients. 🤍 That means no reimbursement paperwork for a family already carrying enough. We handle the bill so they can focus on treatment. #DesertCancerFoundation #CancerCare #CoachellaValley

Want to give something other than money? 🤍 Volunteers help run events, staff tables and connect with families who need us. If you have time and heart, we have a place for you. #DesertCancerFoundation #Volunteer #CoachellaValley

100% donor funded. 🤍 DCF provides more than $350,000 annually in healthcare costs for 160+ local residents. It all comes from this community neighbors helping neighbors. #DesertCancerFoundation #OurImpact #CoachellaValley

Today is National Mammography Day. 🤍 If you've been putting off a screening, consider this your reminder. Early detection matters, and cost should never be the reason you wait. #DesertCancerFoundation #NationalMammographyDay

Our sponsors help us say yes. 🤍 When a local business supports DCF, a neighbor can receive help with a biopsy, treatment or insurance premium. Thank you to every partner standing with us. #DesertCancerFoundation #Sponsorship
