December Story of the Month

Check out For Grace's December Story of the Month. Woman in pain Katy Itacy had a successful law career in her early thirties until excruciating back pain forced her into early retirement. Despite her thinking its cause was a re-emerging childhood spinal tumor, doctors repeatedly said no, even suggesting her pain was "psychosomatic." Katy eventually found a "tethered-cord syndrome" specialist who confirmed her suspicion; however, it was too little too late. Katy now advocates for herself and others who have been neglected by healthcare professionals.

Post-Cancer Treatment Anxiety

Join host Cynthia Toussaint on her next episode of "The Pain-Cancer Connection" which streams live on five of The Mighty's Facebook pages, including their flagship MightySite page. This Tuesday, November 19th  at 1pm PST, Cynthia again interviews her life partner, caregiver and For Grace director, John Garrett, to update all about their journey with Cynthia's breast cancer. The two will share tips on how to remain strong during the recovery period, one that is often filled with dread and fear. They'll talk about the challenges of "scanxiety" and how to keep one's "terrain" in a place of cancer-fighting wellness. Looking forward to your great comments and questions!
