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

May is Hepatitis Awareness Month, a time to remind everyone that liver cancer prevention begins with knowing your risk.

Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are leading risk factors for liver cancer, but many people do not know they are infected. Without testing, viral hepatitis can go undetected for years while slowly damaging the liver. That damage can lead to cirrhosis and, in some cases, liver cancer.

Do not wait for symptoms. If you do not know your hepatitis B or hepatitis C status, ask your doctor for a test. Encourage your loved ones to get tested, too.

Blue Faery carries this message into every part of our work, from patient education to community events to national conversations about liver cancer.

We recently hosted our HCC Lunch and Learn in Houston, where patients, caregivers, advocates, and medical experts came together for an afternoon of learning and support. We were honored to be joined by Dr. Sudha Kodali, whose leadership and partnership were instrumental in helping make the event a success at Houston Methodist Hospital.

We also hosted our Love Your Liver workshop in observance of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The bilingual event, in English and Chinese, helped raise awareness about liver health, hepatitis B, and liver cancer risk in AAPI communities, where culturally relevant education and resources can make a meaningful difference.

Next, Blue Faery is heading to the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago, taking place May 29 through June 2. If you are attending, we invite you to visit us at Booth 10013. We would love to connect with partners, advocates, clinicians, and supporters who share our commitment to improving outcomes for people affected by liver cancer.

This Hepatitis Awareness Month, talk to your doctor about hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing, especially if you do not know your status. Learning your risk is one of the first steps toward protecting your liver health.

Together, we can help more people get the facts, get tested, and take action before liver cancer develops.

Thank you so much for helping us make our mission possible!

Fighting Liver Cancer Together,
Andrea Wilson Woods
Founder and President 

Join Blue Faery on May 16 at 12:00 p.m. for our next The Truth About Liver Cancer workshop on Compassionate Use.

Compassionate use, also called Expanded Access, may allow patients with serious or life-threatening conditions to access an investigational treatment when no comparable or satisfactory treatment options are available and clinical trial participation is not possible.

This workshop will help patients, caregivers, and families better understand what compassionate use means, when it may apply, and what questions to ask their care team.

Are you planning to attend ASCO? Stop by Booth 10013 to meet the newest members of the Blue Faery team!

We are always excited to connect with patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and partners who share our mission of fighting liver cancer through education, research, and advocacy.

Stop by and see us! We would love to say hello, hear about your work, and explore new ways to support the liver cancer community together.

On April 25, Blue Faery hosted an inspiring HCC Lunch and Learn at Houston Methodist Hospital, bringing together patients, caregivers, medical experts, advocates, and volunteers for an afternoon of education and connection.

The event featured powerful presentations from specialists, a clinical social worker, and a registered dietitian, offering practical guidance and support for those affected by liver cancer.

We were especially moved by Melissa and Victor Ayala, whose heartfelt presentation touched everyone in the room.

We are deeply grateful to Houston Methodist Hospital, our speakers, the local volunteers from CanCare, our volunteer from the Liver Cancer Community, and everyone who helped make the event such a meaningful experience.

Recordings from all Houston presentations will be available next month. Until then, visit our YouTube channel to watch the current HCC Lunch and Learn playlist.
