Hello [[INITIATIVE.AUDIENCE MEMBER.FIRST NAME]], 

November is National Family Caregivers Month, a time to honor the quiet, relentless courage of those who care for loved ones with liver cancer. In mid-October, our The Truth About Liver Cancer: Unmet Needs workshop highlighted a reality we encounter every day in our community: caregivers bear the burden of complex medical tasks, logistics, and deep emotions often without sufficient support.

One member of Blue Faery's online support forum recently captured that experience powerfully. She wrote, "Most people have no clue how hard it can be at times… the 'family members' that are not the person's caregivers have no idea what 24/7 caregiving means."

She described how even small gestures could have made a world of difference: "It would have been wonderful if they could have asked if I needed to run an errand or even just go grab us milkshakes and breathe for a minute."

During the hardest moments, she found strength in community: "Thankfully, I had some awesome ladies on [the] Blue Faery [Community] that were going through it or had been through it or I'd have lost my mind."

Her reflections also remind us to seek joy amid the challenges: "Cherish every moment. Take 1000 pictures… If it's a spouse, REMEMBER that it's a spouse… Make memories and check off that bucket list."

This month, we're centering caregivers with practical resources, peer support, and real-world insights that emerged from our recent workshop on unmet needs. If you couldn't join us live, you can still benefit by watching the replay and sharing it with someone who needs to feel seen.

By the way, you're receiving this newsletter a bit early because our team will be at AASLD's The Liver Meeting in Washington, DC, from November 8–10. Visit us at Booth 1252, near the pickleball courts. We're eager to connect, learn, and return with insights that will strengthen our caregiver and patient programs.

If you're a caregiver, we see you, and we're here for you. If you're a friend or family member, consider one small gesture: offer to run an errand, bring a meal during treatment (not just after), or give the caregiver an hour to breathe. Small acts of care can make a big difference.

Fighting Liver Cancer Together,
