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

Blue Faery's mission is deeply personal, yet it spans far beyond any single story. Every so often, a moment drives that reality home. This year, ASCO was that moment.

Our U.S.-based Blue Faery team traveled to Chicago, along with two incredible volunteers, Jeff Cape and Nicole Wright-Derks. At our booth, we connected with 477 people from 58 countries.

I keep coming back to that number. Not because it is impressive, but because of what it represents. Physicians, researchers, advocates, patients, caregivers, and people from around the world stopped to talk about liver cancer. Each conversation reminded me that this disease reaches across borders, languages, and communities. It also reminded me how much work still needs to be done.

When Adrienne was diagnosed, liver cancer felt invisible. There were so few resources, so little awareness, and not enough urgency. I remember how isolating that felt as her parent. I also remember promising myself that if I could help another family feel less alone, I would.

That promise is why Blue Faery exists.

As we mark Men's Health Week, I wanted to take this opportunity to speak directly to the men in our community, and to the people who love them. Liver cancer is more common in men than in women. In 2026, the American Cancer Society estimates that 27,790 men in the United States will be diagnosed with liver cancer and intrahepatic bile duct cancer, compared with 14,550 women. Men are also expected to account for 19,650 of the estimated deaths from these cancers this year.

Those numbers are fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, friends, and colleagues. They are people whose lives matter deeply.

If you are a man with risk factors for liver cancer, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, cirrhosis, heavy alcohol use, obesity, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, or a family history of liver cancer, please talk with your doctor about screening. If you love someone who may be at risk, encourage him to ask questions, schedule an appointment, get a metabolic panel, and follow up on abnormal liver test results. Often, advocacy begins at home.

That is also why resources matter. Blue Faery's Patient Resource Guide helps patients and families better understand liver cancer, treatment options, questions to ask, and where to find support. If your practice is in the United States, you can order directly from the patient resource link. If your practice is outside the United States, please use our international request form to order guides directly from Blue Faery. No one should have to face this diagnosis without clear information, practical tools, and compassionate guidance.

Next month, we will continue that work through The Truth About Liver Cancer: Mind, Body & Support. Scroll down to learn more and join the event.

Thank you for standing with us and helping carry this mission forward. What began with Adrienne's story continues through every conversation, every resource shared, and every family reminded that they are not alone.

Fighting Liver Cancer Together,

No one should face liver cancer alone.

Blue Faery's HIPAA-compliant Liver Cancer Community gives HCC patients and caregivers a safe, private space to connect with others who understand the journey. Members can share experiences, ask questions, find encouragement, and access support from people who know how overwhelming a liver cancer diagnosis can feel.

Join our Liver Cancer Community today and take the next step toward connection, compassion, and support.

Join Blue Faery on July 11 at 12:00 p.m. for our next The Truth About Liver Cancer workshop on Mind, Body, and Support.

In recognition of National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, this webinar will explore the whole-person experience of living with liver cancer, including the emotional, mental, nutritional, and practical challenges patients and caregivers often face.

Register today to learn practical tools, discover support resources, and feel more connected throughout the liver cancer journey.

On May 16, Blue Faery hosted The Truth About Liver Cancer: Compassionate Use, a workshop focused on helping patients and caregivers better understand this important treatment access pathway.

The conversation featured real-life perspectives from a patient who has experienced compassionate use firsthand, along with insights from a medical expert. Together, they explored what compassionate use is, how it works, and the emotional and practical considerations families may face when pursuing this option.

Watch the replay to learn more about compassionate use and hear directly from those who have navigated the process.

Team members attended sessions on topics ranging from AI in oncology to infusion therapy in HCC, bringing back valuable insights to inform our work. The trip also gave us time to connect as a team, beginning with Genentech's rooftop reception, which featured amazing food, outstanding conversation, and a view to end all views. Followed the next night by a memorable dinner at Gibson's, an authentic Italian steakhouse and Chicago tradition.

After several packed days of learning, connecting, and representing Blue Faery, we ended the trip with team building at Activate Chicago, a fun and fitting finale to an unforgettable ASCO experience.
