Don’t wait for things to go back to normal to resume treatment. Contact your healthcare team. Get checked. #NewNormalSameCancer

Cancer diagnoses in 2020 are down by approximately 40%. Not because cancer has gone away, but because of a disruption in care caused by the pandemic. The medical community predicts the disruption of cancer care due to COVID-19 will have lasting impacts that have the potential to further disrupt future care and treatment. If you’ve paused treatments or routine checks, it’s time to resume. Cancer doesn’t wait, neither should you. Don’t wait. Contact your healthcare team. Get checked. #NewNormalSameCancer
