The significant progress made in successfully treating many common cancers is being undermined by the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR). AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. #StandUpToCancer is joining World Health Organization and Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) to improve awareness and understanding of AMR this #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek.

Nate Hudson was just two years old when he was first diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma. Since then, he has overcome many challenges through treatments, relapse, and a secondary diagnosis - but thankfully, he is cancer-free today. Nate’s mother, Antonia reflects: “It isn’t possible to list all the ways that cancer and treatment changed Nate and all of our lives as a family.” Her advice to others supporting a child during their cancer journey is: “Navigating your child through cancer treatment is hard, everything is new, and you have to make impossible decisions. It is okay to ask for help, to give yourself a moment, and to celebrate even the smallest of wins.” Antonia is not only a caregiver to her son, but also an advocate with the #StandUpToCancer Pediatric Dream Team. In fact, her entire family is involved in cancer research advocacy. “We have too many childhood cancers with unacceptable cure rates – and this is why SU2C is so important, to push science forward,” says Antonia. “Seeing Nate go through cancer treatment changed everything. It is our turn to give back and support the families who will unfortunately be diagnosed in the future. We must do better for children with cancer so that they can live long and healthy lives.” The Palmer-Hudson family “stands up to cancer for Nate and all children diagnosed with this terrible disease.” This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, share who you stand up for. 🧡

Aki Smith’s father, Shigeo, began his cancer journey in 2013, when his stomach cancer was misdiagnosed, and he was told he had six months to live. “It wasn’t until we sought a second opinion that we finally got hope,” Aki says, adding that her father was restaged to stage 3B stomach cancer. “Watching him endure treatment deeply impacted me – I honestly didn't think he would survive.” After a total gastrectomy, followed by chemotherapy and radiation, Shigeo is now in remission. Watching what her father went through inspired Aki to become an advocate for stomach cancer patients, and she now works with two different #StandUpToCancer research teams that each focus on unique aspects of stomach cancer. “Joining these teams have enabled me to contribute to cutting-edge work in advanced gastroesophageal cancer and also push the boundaries of early detection and interception of stomach cancer,” Aki explains. “My hope is to ensure that all patients have better access to innovative treatments and resources throughout their diagnosis and later on." This #StomachCancerAwarenessMonth, Aki stands up for her father and for other families navigating this difficult journey. Her biggest advice for others with family members facing cancer is, “Trust your instincts and advocate fiercely for your loved one. Don’t be afraid to seek second opinions and ask for clarity when you feel uncertain. Staying informed and engaged can make a huge difference.” 🧡
